Every leaf falling
Is like a piece of me melting away
Like I strip off my old self
The trees loose all that made them what they were.
The autumn leaves fall away leaving nothing but a bare skeleton of a tree
It’s true self is revealed and laid bare for the whole world to see.
The vulnerability brings on new growth
Just like we peel back our layers and reveal who we really are
It’s our autumn leaves that show us who we really can be.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
