Colorful Changes
Nature, the quick change artist
Is dropping hints today
Of the beauty of her fall attire
And splendor on the way.
The fruit on the old apple tree
Is falling to the ground.
Fat grapes await with patience for
Jack Frost to come around.
Bright flowers in the gardens are
Ablaze with final showing
While lower temperatures assure
That Autumn will be glowing.
We say good-bye to Summer
As fall comes creeping in.
We’re grateful for the lull before
Cold winter shall begin.
And so it is with our lives,
When we reach our autumn years.
We show our maturing colors as
Our youth’s green disappears.
