Leaves

As a strong breeze goes by,
Leaves blowing, trees swaying.
Children jumping in the leaves,
Adults strolling around a park,
Young families are enjoying a nice, Autumn walk,
Longing for the weather to stay,
Warm, and friendly, nice and cool.
Squirrels collecting food for the cold, Winter days,
If only they were far away.
So when the Autumn comes around,
Enjoy the sun, trees and the leaves.
But when the cold, long Winter days come,
Greet them with open arms.
but secretly, I sit and wish,
They were far away.
