Fall Walk

It was the perfect autumn day Bright and cool with a breezy wind That blew the clouds about On the spur of the moment I get an idea With my grandsons hands in mine We walked down the road There was something joyous about the sights I discovered peace flowing through me Indian summer sun colored the world around us The leaves along the way have turned Crimson, yellow, gold and orange We watched leaves falling through the branches Dancing throughout the air as they floated to the ground It was a gorgeous day, sun shining through the trees As tiny dust particles floated throughout the air We stopped at the creek and watched The water as it rippled over the rock Babbling on to no one in particular We picked up pine cones and rocks Their pockets were stuffed full with keepsakes We ambled along the roadside We picked dandelions, blowing their seeds We gathered wild flowers and collected acorns Then I slowly walked back home with two tired boys.
