Analysis of Leaf On The Wind
William James Carline 1980 (frseno)
our time here on earth is like a leaf on the wind!
falling swiftly down to meet our own end!
love yourself as much as your jewels!
listen to your elders but mind your own rules!
remember that your not the only one falling!
listen to your heart and do your own calling!
open your eyes and see what you may!
these words mean nothing without your say!
