Falling leaves make their way down to the ground
Dancing like ballerinas in descent
I watch and feel a little bit profound
As I lean against the chilled chain link fence

I love the crunch they make under your feet
I love everything that they symbolize
That even though they're buried underneath
They can bring joy into another life

They give the kids something to go play in
And they ad to my list of weekly chores
But you know it's worth the price I'm paying
To crunch through them all maybe just once more

So please just bare the cold for one more year
Because before you know it, summers here
