Winter

The days have grown colder
There's frost on the ground
People get wrapped up
To head into town

The leaves are all falling
They litter the ground
But one stubborn leaf
Keeps hanging around

It longs for the sunlight
The warmth of the day
It clings to the tree
And hopes it will stay

But Winter is coming
And hope falls away
Just like that leaf
On the breeze the next day
