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
