Autumn leaves waft in the wind.
As they float, my heart just sings.
They cleanse away my careworn mind,
and help me leave my past behind.
Crackling like scarlet stars,
leaping like life’s fresh new starts,
they relieve my long-held grief,
and help me turn a whole new leaf.
Why must I grieve for fallen leaves?
When snow will fall this Christmas Eve.
Snow shows me it is never late,
to change my ways and choose my fate.
