| It was an early August night. The heat was stifling(令人窒息) even with 1 on as I tried to sleep. I awoke early, wiped the 2 from my forehead, and took my dog out for his morning walk. The maple tree in my backyard kept a quiet watch on the rising 3 . As I walked over to it I was 4 to see the first red leaf of the year below it. I 5 picked up the red leaf and smiled. In hot summer it 6 the coming fall. It was leading the way to a(n) 7 that would soon take place. I could feel the cool wind. I could see the trees 8 with thousands of red and yellow leaves. I could see the forests and mountains here 9 by Heaven's own hand. I could feel the joy of a beautiful autumn 10 in my soul. I took the11 into my home so I could see it every day. It reminds me that there is a red leaf in all of us just 12 to come out. It reminds me that on the hottest summer day and 13 winter night we can still share our 14 and joy with others. It reminds me that our purpose is to add 15 to the sometimes grey world around us. I only wish that I were the first leaf of fall instead of such a 16 changer myself. Whether you change early or late isn't important, 17 . What is important is that you shine today. What 18 is that you make this world a better place. Show your smile and give a hug. Feed the 19 and visit the lonely. Care for the hurting and 20 the crying. Show others just how much you love them. Then your soul will glow(发光) like the leaves of Heaven. | ||||
