Watch the rain glisten on the yellow leaves as the sun tries to come out Even on the windiest and colder days in December her leaves are full of sunshine Every shade of yellow but lemony and lovely As you watch the rain circles near the ducks in the pond The warmer days of December come back to your memories As the cities come back to life with visitors As Christmas, Kwanza, and Chanukah celebrations take their shape The Beech tree kept me company and happy on a lonely December day Reminding me of better days to come
