If I were a… leaf;

I would taste… like a fresh batch of cookies;

I would be full of… joy to feel the wind;

I’d want… to be raked up when I fall;

If I were a… leaf;

I would… be sitting in the trees waiting for a breeze;

I would wish… I would be a bigger leaf;

I would love… to fall from a tree;

I would listen… for the wind blowing through the holes in me;

I would… be sitting in the tree waiting for a kid.
