A Pleasant Autumn Day

Autumn has come and the golden sun
                           Which shines in the garden today
                          Is gentler now, and a walk will allow
                            Without making us all melt away

                      In August, it was scorching and blazing
                            A furnace is mild in compare
                       Now it's warmth is a joy and amazing
                           This day is so pleasant and fair

                           In summer I felt like a captive
                    From the house we would jump in the car
                          We really weren't feeling adaptive
                          In 110 degree heat...can't stroll far

                        October has come, and we praise God
                          The summer is gone, we're so glad
                      Now over the garden and backyard I trod
                      With my children, and their precious dad

Thank you :-) Today is a bit more chilly and there is a gentle rain falling, which is so very welcome after a long drought. This is a beautiful season. I'm glad you liked my poem Anna-Lise <3
