Out In the October Sun

`
Colorful autumn leaves piling,
scarves wrapped and jackets are zipped
Pumpkins with faces are smiling,
noses and cheeks rosy nipped

Cinnamon spice on the breezes,
fireplace embers aglow
Taking a walk ‘fore it freezes,
hoping and wishing for snow

Feeling the chill of the season,
here on our day filled with fun
Not even needing a reason,
out in the October sun
