AUTUMN'S GLORY

​

It's summers end and autumn
commences to unfold

Bringing with it wondrous colours
from red to shining gold

​

Although this season heralds
that winter's on its way

There's nothing can compare
with its wonderful display

 

So don't be saddened that it ends
summers many shades of green

Their replacement's a blend of colours
that no other season's seen

Perhaps Mother Nature's saying sorry
that summertime must end
So she offers us this blaze of glory
knowing soon that she must send

Strong winds that strip the trees bare
as their leaves fall to the ground

To lay like multi coloured carpets
that give off a rustling sound

 

There for kids to kick and scuff through
on their way to school

Laughing with glee as the wind

whips them into spinning whirlpools

 

So be thankful for this rainbow
of autumns glorious shades

It is a breath taking gift for us
that Mother Nature made.
