Leaves Twirling

Strong but gentle leaves,
Travelling a beautiful sea breeeze.
Over the tree tops higher but gentle.
Come fly away through a beautiful day.
Follow me it will always say.
Rushing the trees to a maple fall,
That's pretty much all,
But still the leaves are twirling
Round and round falling
Softly to the ground, lifting up the dust and dirt
Now lifting the leaves again soon Going to turn
To dusk or dead
Please help me round and round
I want to fly right off the ground and up, up , up and away just like the leaves I saw today!
