Like the green leaf, just born,
Knowing that it's time to rejoice
And be green till time comes.
Time to turn yellow.
Knowing that the end has come.
Albeit, there's nothing to be sad
As life has been lived, not too bad!
But the day my soul departed
Turned yellow before time.
With utter disbelief and horrid surprise.
Bit by bit it swayed away, the soul
Like a yellow leaf fallen and drifted away
To nowhere.
