Hold On

I've always wanted a whole tree to myself
I"m the leaf that holds on through winter
It can be lonely and cold at the top of the world
but...
I survive and greet the newcomers in spring
I don't look like them, they look fresh and inspired
but at least they know I made it through winter
sometimes trying makes me feel alive
even when the sun doesn't shine for weeks
at least the branch stays strong to hold on to me
when I didn't want to fall with the rest
didn't want to fall like the rest
It's so far down, but one day I might...
