Let us welcome Fall
In all its colorful display.
The third act of the year;
When Nature puts on a wild display
Of sights, of smells, of sounds.
A time of gathering;
When all creatures, great and small,
Catch a whiff of the chill in the air
And prepare to hunker down
For the long, cold, deep sleep ahead.
A time of celebrations:
Harvests and holidays.
When families come together
Sharing the bounty of the earth,
Giving thanks for such abundance.
Do not mourn the passing of summer;
It will return before long.
Do not fear the advent of winter;
It will be here soon enough.
Simply embrace the wonder of autumn
In all its splendor and glory.
