What Happens When Clouds Make Tear Drops (c)
A tiny little cloud was making way around the world when he stumbled upon a forest on a tiny island
The sheer beauty of it brought a tear to his eye and the tear fell away from the cloud
The little tiny tear drop lit gently on the top of a leaf
It was not a large leaf
Just a fair size leaf
But a leaf that grew on a very large tree
And the leaf was at the top of the tree
The leaf said to the drop,
“You feel good.’
But I know your going to drop.
You are going to roll all the way to the bottom of my leafiness and
Drop to the forest floor
The drop said, “No I am not,
I m to small you can’t make me drop.”
The Wind came along and said,” I heard that yes he can make you drop
And I will give him a little help.”
Then the wind tickled the leaf and the leave gave a little quiver and the drop rolled just
A little bit, about 1/3 of the way down the leaf and stopped.
Now the drop looked back and saw that he had left a little of himself on the top part of the
Leaf and now he was a third of the down the leaf and he was smaller by 1/3
The leaf said you feel good and leaving the trail felt even better.
But I know your going to drop to the forest floor.
“No I am not,” said the drop, because now I am even smaller.” You can’t make me fall
Eeeeer or can you.”
