Autumn Leaves

The colors of the leaves

Yellow, red, brown on the trees.

One by one they fall

To rest on the earthen soil.

The yellow one may tumble

As the leaves all tremble.

When you walk they rustle

As quickly you hustle.

The crisp breezes now blow

While the leaves fall slow.

They amaze my sight

In the early morning light.

I can't help but realize

God has given them as a prize.

Their beauty seems to rest

The leaves catch our interest.

Falling, falling to the ground

By the river or down town.

Like a carpet under foot

Over by the tree's root.

They float on the wind

As the Summer comes to an end.

It's now the Fall of the year

When the trees shed their wear.

We need never forget this treat

Because each year it will repeat!
