“Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.”

Elizabeth Lawrence

The seasons are a changin

There’s a rustlin in the air

I can feel it all around me

I can see it almost everywhere

My air conditioner is off

A cool breeze is waftin in

As I gaze up at the trees

I spot a tiny golden tint

My dogs have stopped sheddin

Ants are headin below ground

As I relax out on my back steps

To the breezy air I soon look around

The baby sparrows are now soarin

A few ducks and geese headin south

The chipmunk knows what’s comin

He’s storin nuts in his cheeky mouth

I truly love earth’s four varied seasons

I just couldn’t live where they don’t abound

Darkness visited me just a tad earlier yesterday

Signs of a glorious new Autumn now all around

Changes in our lives can be very good things

To me these seasonal changes never get old

And as I finally head back indoors to pen this

I can already feel a refreshing change in my soul
