Red, Gold and Green
Red, Gold and Green
I can write of Autumn with integrity,
For I have lived red, gold and green long years;
Bruise colored wall clouds marching
Toward Summer’s last gasp,
Teams of boys and pompom joys with backpacks;
Bowed old heads with dread of cold bone winter.
So while it is here, the air ablazing,
Colors of cheer and days of beauty,
I will pray for me and I will pray for you,
That its timeless message shines through,
As if Autumn hued blankets are cuddling you
In that red, gold and green warmth,
To protect you ‘til it is Spring again.
