Simplicity
The autumn leaves you gathered
Are lying on the floor
Your little hands arranged them
Just like they were before
You bring us childish wonder
Of all things pure and good
And name the colours one by one
As we walk through the wood
You’re reaching out for Daddy
For Grandma or Grandad
To show us something new you’ve found
And make our hearts feel glad
