I LOVE THOSE LEAVES
From the trees
they fall
Bringing so much color
and memories of days
When I was a kid
I walked in the leaves
Until I learned to dance
More than love
I love the leaves
They make me feel so free
They MUST be alive
They come from a tree
Down I go on my back
Into the leaves, the leaves
the leaves
Just me and the leaves alone
Dancing
In the leaves
I save one for my book
My pages surrounded it
Now the words are brightly lit
I’ve got so many more
Where will they fit
I guess around me I’ll have to look
For I love the leaves
Let’s go dancing in the leaves!
The leaves, the leaves!
Standing in a great big pile
For miles the leaves they’re
Baskets of leaves
Bushels, racks, barrels of leaves
Make me love them crunch under my feet
God, that’s neat
Leaves , leaves, leaves—-
Dance, dance, dance!
Raise my arms, bend my knees
Down and down
Bunch of leaves
Hug those leaves
I love those leaves!
