I wonder if I am a star.
Will I glow brighter than all the other lights in the universe?
I wonder if I am a sun.
Will I provide warmth to all living beings?
I wonder if I am a moon.
Will I provide light in the midst of darkness?
I wonder if I am a car.
Will I drive around to any city I want?
I wonder if I am a house.
Will I shelter families so that they can finally be home?
I wonder if I am a plane.
Will I be flying around? ... wait, I am already flying; WEEEE!
I wonder if I am a lion.
Will I be the king of the jungle?
I wonder if I am a shark.
Will I be the predator of the ocean?
I wonder if I was a sloth...
No, they are lazy, and I hate them.
Oh! I wonder if I am a bear.
So I can be big and strong—ROAR!
I wonder if I am human.
Will I be a boy or a girl?
Will I finally have limbs?
Will I be tall or short?
Will I be attractive?
Will I be famous someday?
Will I be a musician, actor, artist, pilot, or businessman?
Will I be someone who inspires others?
Will I be special enough to have an impact on the world?
I wonder why I am just a leaf.
Does God hate me?
Did I do something wrong in my previous life?
Is it just bad luck? coincidence?
What is my purpose for being this way?
Why am I just a weak, useless leaf?
Perhaps life
Isn't it something you get to choose?
It is YOU who choose.
Maybe there is a reason why I am a leaf.
Maybe my purpose is simply to observe, protect the world,
Or be a wanderer and float aimlessly.
Not being able to choose my own fate makes me feel helpless, but I'm still curious about why it's that way.
Each and every one of us has something unique to contribute to the world.
Every living and non-living thing has something special to offer.
Whether we're living beings or not
We all have strengths and abilities that can make a difference.
It's natural to question our existence.
But let's remember to embrace our unique qualities and be grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact.
We should embrace the differences that make our world a wondrous and magnificent place.
Maybe it is better this way, with just a leaf that aimlessly wanders in the wind.
