Different Leaf, Same Tree
by PammyMcG
Look here; this is me
Standing behind you
Always waiting
We branch from the same tree
But I’m not like you
I’m always patient
Pausing for my time
Always waiting
We come from the same seed
But I am distinct
Watch me wait for you
Holding for your life
Always waiting
We’re born from the same earth
But I’m different.
I’m me.
