The Maple Seed

Mother, I must go.

I must drift in the wind

And land far away.

My brothers and sisters

Call me to join them

In the closing of day.

 

Please let me fly,

To another home

Where I will start anew.

I'll begin in the dark

And work 'til I am big,

Strong like you.

 

You hugs are so special

But now I can't breath,

So I have to go fly!

I'll find a new home

And I will find a new life,

So Mother, goodbye.
