Thank you leaves, for being here
This fall and crispy day
Thank you leaves, for bringing me
This joy along your way

Thank you for your colors,
So beautiful and bright
The reds and yellows, browns and gold
So gorgeous in my sight!

Thank you for the scents you make
Like teas and sweet molasses,
In Autumn’s kitchen brewing
With every breath I take

Thank you for your soothing sounds
Like rustles, taps and flutters
To stir my soul and warm my heart
As you spin and spiral down

Thank you leaves, for the peace you bring
Upon my fleeting stay
And thank you for the memories,
I’ll cherish day-by-day
