Autumn

 

Summer winds have blown away

 

the beachy balms of yesterday

 

 seasons see her subtle change

 

 tiny friends must re-arrange

 

to keep them safe 

impending cold

 

they store up food

 

it's worth in gold

 

the hours

 

they grow shorter now

 

as summer takes her final bow

 

the colored leaves show their array

 

in crimson piles 

 

 the children play

 

and chimneys swept

 

begin their light

 

to keep all warm

 

this autumn night

 

appreciate her while she here

 

she falls away and disppears

 

before you know it

 

so it seems

 

giving way to winter dreams

 

so on and so on , so it goes

 

from warmth of spring

 

to crystal snows

 

be sure to cherish one and all

 

Spring, summer, Winter, & Fall
