Seasons of leaves

I used to sit in my garden

Watching your leaves gently sway side to side

I would sit there for hours

Until I was called inside

I remember summertime

When your leaves were so colourful and bright

You were my umbrella

To keep out blinding light

In autumn we played hide and seek

Ducking under your crimson leaves

Barely any green

On your brown sleeves

As winter comes around

Your leaves are now gone 

You're looking plain and lonely

Sitting on our lawn

Spring is now here

Your leaves are fresh and reborn

Goodbye my lovely tree

I’ll be back again at dawn
