The Falling Leaves

I saw leaves falling And I noticed months had passed I saw a lot of leaves falling And I knew the weather was very dry I heard the leaves Sobbing under my feet And I knew they were feeling So sad to say goodbye To the greenery of the neighbourhood Then I saw a lot of leaves Blew away by a sudden strong wind Then I remembered the sweeper Who had worked here for so many years Suddenly, instead of raking up the leaves My tears started watering the leaves Which would never turn lively fresh again As they are just like the kind and hardworking sweeper Who was once here And now had gone forever
