LEAVES
by Kaelan Palmer Paton, age 9
Lovely colors like a painting
Eventful seasons with extraordinary golds
Amazing shapes like thin ice on the water
Valuable reds fill the air
Easy yellows come down before deep oranges
Simple browns come down last but not least
It can be comforting to reflect on the personality and spirit of a person who is no longer walking the Earth.
