My Little Tree by Alexa Tuchman

How many leaves
On my little tree
Leaves like the maps
Of small countries I will never visit
Clover shaped leaves as spring has sprung
Diamond shaped leaves as winter has come
How many leaves
On my little tree
A solitary tree
Though many branches
Some drape some escape
Some vacation some awaken
Clovers and diamonds
Clovers and diamonds
Ray takes a tumble
and begins to crumble
How many leaves
One my little tree
Generations come and go
The tree will endure though
