Here Comes the Winter

Touch of the sunshine,
kiss of gold;
leaves have turned
organge and red bold!

lime green, tender green,
bright and now yellow!
lots of sunshine did they swallow?

dark and darker, the leaves go bolder
older; until to the winds they surrender

"i will drop them all!"
says the wind during the fall

rustle rustle winds blow;
leaf and leaves, I watch them go

lonely stands the tree;
as the leaves go spree.

cold and colder, its chilly there;
as the tree stands bare

soon they will be covered in a fleece blanky;
of snow soft, silky and shiny!

thats the care of mother nature;
hybernating trees in a restful slumber!
