The Last Autumn Leaf On The Tree

I am the last autumn leaf on the tree
The others have fallen, leaving me
I watch the seasons come and go
The sun, the rain, the wind, the snow

I wonder why I am still here
When everything else is cold and bare
I feel so lonely and out of place
I long to join the earth's embrace

But then I see a child's face
Looking up at me with awe and grace
He smiles and points and calls me beautiful
He makes me feel so special and hopeful

I realize that I have a purpose
To bring some joy and color to this world
I am the last autumn leaf on the tree
But I am not sad, I am happy
