Was it capable of a thought or expression or learning?
The leaf whose last moments of life were burning.
It was just a withered leaf- very small before man,
Which could still serve the world with its Sacrificing plan….
It saw a small pest suffering in the rain,
Withered leaf was secured under a roof aside of the lane,
Leaf could live life of few more moments, but it decided the other way,
It flew with the breeze and sheltered the suffering opponent, at the cost of his life of a day…..
What a Forgiveness withered leaf trapped in its soul,
It could Sacrifice its life for pest- responsible for its withering away,
It made its life meaningful and it fulfilled its role,
It mastered the conditions with his Sacrifice in that May…..
A little seed attached to that leaf,
Due to the rain water sprouted in few weeks,
Gave birth to plant with several leafs,
Showing a great success that a Sacrifice could seek….
So a withered leaf taught me a lesson,
With its Sacrifice and Compassion:-
“Forgiveness, Compassion and Sacrifice are golden coins,
Each of which is as valuable as a shrine… ”
