If I Were A Leaf.

If I were a leaf,
I want to be blown away into the sky,
Breath the air that comes from my home.

If I were a leaf,
I want to be attached on the cover of the envelope
sending to my mum,
Then she will see my name at the first sight of the letter.

If I were a leaf,
I want to be put on the nose of a pure girl.
Cause it is just like the oil painting hanging on my wall.

If I were a leaf,
I want to be picked up by an old man,
As his bending over reminds me of my grandpa.

If I were a leaf,
I want to hide in the pumpkin field,
My grandma liked to plant them and give the huge pumpkins away to her old friends.

If I were a leaf,
I want to be collected in my favourite book,
That time I could bathe in my thought deeply.

If I were a leaf,
I want to grow up,
Beacause nature takes its course.
So do I.

Make me a leaf,
then blow me home.

    make me a leaf then blow me home-this line is my most favorite in this poem.
    also the poem reflects you as a person where your compassion is very evident.
    your love to nature, your family members and your home shows how good a person you are.
