The
Red
Leaf
Of
Autumn
If
I
must
compare
myself
to
an
autumn
leaf,
then
I
shall
be
a
red
one,
clinging
tenaciously
to
the
tree
of
Life,
sporting
my
hue
in
a
golden
ray
of
sun.
I
will
dance
in
crimsoned
glory
upon
a
lively
breeze,
beneath
a
sky
of
brilliant
blue.
When
winter
fades
my
color,
I
shall
glide
like
a
snowflake
to
my
place
of
final
rest,
with
a
grin
upon
my
face.
"She
lived
life
to
the
hilt,"
they'll
say,
"and
never
was
she
old."
