We toss the bright leaves in the air:
oranges, yellows, golds, and reds.
We dance together as they fall.
Leaf hats settle on our heads.
We clap with joy.
We love the leaves!
We rake a glowing, golden heap.
Then, holding hands, we jump into
a pile of colors, three feet deep.
(excerpts from Leaf Jumpers by Carole Gerber)
Treasures from the trees bring us magic in laughter and smiles and wonder. How fortunate we are.
We love the leaves!
