Dear leaf

Dear tree leaf

All my life

they are telling me

My dreams are impossible

I am worthless utopian

Only one percent succeeds

and there is no way

it could be me

I am telling this

to you my leaf

because I have

never heard a leaf

to insult, to discourage

to accuse, to ridicule

Thanks for your kindness

my dearest leaf

When my dreams

come true

I won't forget

how you listened

with love and patience
