A Simple Leaf
I am a nothing but a simple leaf.
I am completely green, and I appear no different than
Everyone else around me.
Although, as time continues to fade behind us
I begin to change
And take form as my true, golden self.
It may take some time for me to become myself
But when the time finally comes
My radiance will shine around me.
Unfortunately, I will become green again at the start of a new year
But I will also always turn back to gold
And glow as brightly as before.
