Leavi

Hello my name is Leavi, I am a leaf. I flutter about in the singing wind, and see such beautiful sights. I remember when I was a small bud who grew on a maple tree. My mother maple raised me up on sun and water. Now and then, I got fertilizer, which is a real treat.
I was a green leaf when I was a little bud, but now I am a yellow –gold color. Mama says I’m a drop of sunshine. One fine autumn day a spider wove a lace white net across me. I was scared, until one of mama’s branches hit that web. Suddenly, I was swooped away into the wind. I was turning brown now and I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was the ocean! I had a marvelous day fluttering in the cool breeze with the sea gulls while the waves splashed me. I found a friend; he was a pearly white sea shell with the shape of a circle and a pointed tip. His mother said that I could spend the night in their sand castle. The sun was just going down when I floated off to ask my mother.
