Orange Leaf Tree
A gift you are orange leaf tree.
I look forward to seeing your orange leaves in the Autumn season.
Most of your leaves have fallen I see.
Of course there is a reason.
It is now time for you to retire.
You have graced me with your beauty.
Your beautiful orange leaves I admire.
You have performed your duty.
All kinds of weather you will face.
You will stand alone, sturdy, and truly bold.
Your orange leaves will disappear without a trace.
As you make way for Winter's snow and freezing cold.
Orange leaves will arrive again in the Autumn season.
Your leaves had to go away.
There was a good reason.
I will gaze at your stunning leaves each and every day.
