Stays

10.9.2021

 

Fall’s a sad time

For the trees

The leaves

Are called leaves

‘Cause they leave

 

All dressed up

In fall colors

Made up

They fall

And they wave

As they leave

 

Fall is sad

Winter’s lonely

Not so bad

For the trees

If the leaves would only

Stop living up to their names

Put an end

To their falling games

 

Maybe the leaves

Would change their ways

If the trees would start

To call them stays

 

‘Til then

For the trees

Fall is sad

Winter lonely

 

‘Til then

Hear their pleas

All is bad

But if only

The leaves would change their ways

Maybe the trees should call them stays
