To Pass On

To Pass On 
 
Someday soon
It will be my turn too

To pass on
To pass on
 
It depends on how you say it
 
Watch the cycle and enjoy
Like leaves,
From a tree,
We fall one by one or 
Rise in the morning to see the sun
 
But how did we fall?
 
All vibrant and bright?
 
Doing our jobs
The best that we might
Floating to the ground
In radiant color galore!
 
Or
 
Crumpled and crinkled
Next to the door?
 
Some will live forever
In the history of time
Because they made a smile
In a little child's mind
 
To pass on!
