BRANCHES IN TIME

Folder: 
FALLEN LEAVES

A young tender
branch
is easily bent
into submission.
As time goes
by
maturity begins
to set in
the branch
grows stronger.
With each passing
day
she becomes able to
carry the leaves
attached.
Until one day
raising her arms
high into the sky
a mature branch
emerges
refusing to bend
anymore.
