Imagine how you are able to touch
a ripe fruit such as mango
and take a bite from it.
Does it taste sweet in your mouth?
I'm sure it does.
We all love fruit
and appreciate their seeds
which carry within their DNA
the ability to procreate
many more trees and fruit.
Yet none of us
appreciate the leaves
that work tirelessly
day and night,
opening and closing their stomata
let alone allowing their chlorophyll
to be exposed to the sun
all day long
and eventually
get burn out and fall.
But that is their purpose.
To work to make that fruit.
Even when they fall,
new leaves grow
and take their place
while they return to earth
as mulch.
Thank God for the leaves.

Nature keeps turning her wheels, the cycle of life carries on. We too, will become mulch for the soil.
