A Single Leaf

Whether it was with a single leaf That causes just one part grief, Which stoked the fire or which started that flame God most assuredly knows who to blame. Or whether it be a bushel of leaves Coming down from the trees, And if that one leaf causes the fire to spread Remember, that flame from that single leaf had fed. It takes just one leaf to start a fire And we all know that God hates a liar, And then when from that flame that you started you cower Remember, you're the one that gave the fire power. Mores leaves because of you was then added on Now you see the flame on a neighbors lawn, The fire will quickly rise and then go out of control Ready to burn and effect the very soul. That fire can burn down a family's home Or it can burn down a great city like Rome, So, remember what you do or say or who you praise Because, it could be you that started the blaze. Randy L. McClave
