The Prettiest Leaf

THE PRETTIEST LEAF
If I were a leaf floating from the trees, I would be the prettiest leaf
 ever seen.
  I may be orange,  red, yellow, brown or green but no doubt I
 would be the prettiest leaf seen.  I may be tattered or whole intact if I am tattered and torn I will still be there for you to adorn. 
 Will you wonder why I'm tattered or will you know it came
 from falling from the sky so high?  Or will you just guess its
 from all the walking feet?   I may be big small or in between,
 but will always be the prettiest leaf you've ever seen.
