Book Cover & Preview Text
The leaves of Fall, with their colors of Scarlet, Gold, Red, Yellow and even Brown are simply gorgeous, on the trees and those that have fallen to the ground
We used to walk among the shed remains feeling the crackle under our feet But now I walk alone, not noticing any sound For without you, the silence is complete
One by one they spoke their lines at just the right moment and all in perfect harmony causing us the audience to gasp, then applaud as the curtain fell upon Act III
You did not come to see me when I was at my best arising early and straightening up I put on the coffee and sat down to rest
Hearing a sound on the back porch I hurried to the door It was only leaves rustling and dancing across the wooden floor
