The pretty leaves become less of a leaf

Mother Nature’s hardest color to keep
Mother Nature’s leaf turns to a flower
It will only stay like this for a small amount of time
The pretty leaves become less of a leaf
The beautiful garden becomes less beautiful
It becomes day after the sunset
None of the beautiful greens are there anymore
