Autumn Leaves

Changing colors, dropping temperatures, pumpkin spice lattes: do these mainstays of Fall fill your heart with warmth — or with dread?

 

PUMPKINS AND SUCH

The summer heat is gone

The furnace on

The winds doeth blow

For jackets we go

Campfires heat

Marshmallows we eat

Crisp leaves fall slowly down

Almost covering all ground

Jack-O-Lanterns glow

And the children know

Trick-or-treating is near

Time for costumes and gear

Smell of pumpkin pies

Tearful memories in eyes

Saying grace, holding hands

Families gather in grand

Summer has gone

Time to sing a new song

Let us enjoy this new day

And soon Spring will be on its way.
