Oh tiny tree
No taller than me
With your little
Red leaves
Shaped like child's hands.
Today is your day,
You held out till the last
And now you're sharing
Your leaves for us, alas!
I get to watch them
Drift and twitter,
Floating slowly to the ground
As the wind shakes
Your fragile branches
Are you chilly out there?
I watch your
Beautiful dance.
I saw your first leaf fall.
And one, two, three more.
It is a windy day,
You shall be bare by nightfall.
Your dance captivates me
Oh tiny tree
You are more than movement
You are grace and glory.
At first I knew you as small.
Now I see you are quite tall!
