Autumn's Splendors

Summer's dress is gone Darken the colors for warmth. Crops now in harvest, leaves come tumbling down to earth... Indian Summer is here. Cold days, colder nights Fireplace sings its wooden song. Cords stacked in rows, sentinel woods wait outside... Snuggling up with one you love. Night comes on too fast The big yellow moon stands out. Vees of geese fly south against the gray sky of day... Time to change the clocks, again. Holiday spirits! Ghosts, Ghouls, and Goblins abound. Children seek rewards going to houses unknown... "Trick or Treat" is the password. How I love this time Knowing that year's end is nigh. Give thanks to the Lord for His generous nature... All seen in Autumn's splendor!
