The summer season has passed us by
And the beauty of autumn and fall is here
There is always a lot of celebrations,
Because this is a special time of year
With the leaves changing colors
And slowly falling to the ground
it makes me still joyful;
To see that you're still around
This time of year
Seems to be the happiest of them all,
With all of the holidays coming up,
Everyone wants to have a ball
With the winter approaching
it starts to get cold;
People's attitudes start changing
And love and kindness become ten fold
With the days becoming shorter,
And the nights increasingly long
It makes it more possible
For people in love to get along
Like chestnuts roasting on an open fire
it helps to make the seasons bright;
And with just one smile from you
Would light up my life every night
You must be in the southern hemisphere. Here in the northern, we have embarked upon hurricane season after the summer solstice. But there is no date on your poem and I don't believe any chestnuts south of the border. ;-)
