October, bring me home to all the scents I so adore 
clothe me in cinnamon dreams and help me collect 
all the  colors that I so lovingly wrapped  
with burlap's gentle touch ! 
October, blush me with orange and tangerines 
tint my lips with red and crimson sheen 
and as the fall foliage falls away from me,  
bring me a mug of  pumpkin spice, Oh please 
October, while  your busy bagging gold 
I am gathering dry leaves at my feet 
Raking in hopes for a mild mild winter,    
and marshmallows roasting by a lovely fireside. 
After the first hard frost comes the gentle snow,  
then later on if we are lucky, a beautiful warm spring in toe...
