As I watch Autumn’s grin when summer dies,
accepting seasons change for a reason, 
I’m captivated by our glorious skies,
which enthrall whatever the season.

Accepting seasons change for a reason
stunning sunsets, clouds tinged with gold;
which enthrall whatever the season
nature’s wondrous glory to behold.

Stunning sunsets, clouds tinged with gold;
I’m captivated by our glorious skies,
Natures wondrous glory to behold,
as I watch Autumn’s grin when summer dies.

I wish you all the luck with this one that is definitely a FAVE for me. I also like descending the stairs limerick which I was sure would place to my disappointment. Congrats with that one anyhow.
