I am not quite sure what you want because that is not a question. Therefore there cannot be an answer. But, if you were looking for an opinion on that sentence I can give you that. First of all, caressed may not be the right word to use. You could go into more detail though.
Such as:
The sun looked down upon the plant, it reached out and lifted it up from the rain.
It could be along those lines, I hope that helps I really didn't know what you wanted to hear.
1) As I sat on what I thought was my deathbed, I believed that leaf was connected to my life force. That once it became dry and fell, I would die along with it.
2) The leaf was special to me because I believed that we were the same. Just waiting for the day we were blown away in an angry storm. We both were just barely hanging on until we died.
Hope this helps! If you need me to change anything just let me know, and I'll be happy to switch up my answer a bit! :D
