Leaf By Leaf : An Autumn Song

Leaf by leaf each little one comes down,

As it changes hue from green to brown.

And each little one has a story to tell,

Of the glories of its life before it fell.

Of the days of joy in the bloom of spring,

When the cuckoos and the babblers sing,

Of the gleaming moon on a summer night,

When it beams in full glow, pretty and bright.

Of the rains that poured down with purpose,

And with playful pranks tickled its surface.

Of the whispering winds and their gaily song,

As all the leaves gleefully murmured along.

Of sheltering a weary man on a sunny day,

As the scorching sun blazed its brightest ray.

Of how it saw a little bird’s offspring hatch,

And watched it learn life’s ways from scratch.

And now as the dusk of its life is ever so near,

It is all set to go, but spares a tiny tear.

A tear of joy mingled with a twinge of sorrow,

For life’s bounty's here today, and gone tomorrow.
