Autumn

The leaves are falling
And the wind is blowing,
And I am cold.
I put my hands around me
I start to run faster and faster
Suddenly I stop
I look up at the trees.
They are blowing from side to side,
The winds starts to roar,
I am frightened.
At last I am home by the fire.

George Manapiri, S.3
