As Autumn Leaves Fall
I Know That You're Still Here
Autumn leaves,
Gold, red and yellow,
crunch beneath my feet;
As I take this beautiful,
yet,
Chilly Journey,
To find you sitting,
Once more,
Beneath the sycamore tree.
I sit down,
Closing my eyes,
Hugging my coat,
As a cold tear falls down
my cheek.
I can still feel you near,
Holding me in your gentle arms,
And calling me,
"My dear."
As soon as I open my eyes,
You are gone;
Though a soft, golden leaf floats
to the ground,
And lands gently by my side.
As Autumn Leaves fall,
I hear your gentle call;
A friendly ghost from the past,
Saying,
"Carol, you can get through it all,"
Only when I hear those words,
Do I know,
You're still here.
