Leaves
grow old
with gentle acceptance
that they will eventually
fall

This brought tears, this morning, Christine.
Lovely.
Brilliant Elfje! Celebrating autumn with you.
I like the way that ‘fall’ in the last line can be interpreted as the end of the sentence, or else as a word standing on its own, defining the four lines which preceded. That structure makes the meaning stand out strongly.
