Color change

But you are as red as a tomato 

The brown leaf is beyond thirsty 

Only one seems to be healthy 

How could we deem this as complete

One is nearly to close to defeated 

The brown leaf pleaded 

Please help me 

The water doesn't seem to water my side 

Shade is often pushing away the sunlight 

I have been living a darker life 

The tomato gave up it's own life 

Dangling until it's stem gave way 

Though the leaf died later that same day 

Respect for the tomato never faded away
