The Leaves Are Falling
THE LEAVES ARE FALLING
Now Summer’s ended and the days draw in
And Autumn’s chill replaces sultry heat;
As we watch the annual Fall begin
And we give thanks for safely gathered wheat.
I can’t help wondering what lies ahead.
For I am in the Autumn of my years.
The Summer days of youth have long-since fled;
I feel a fleeting fear as winter nears.
But then I turn and see you standing there
And, in that moment, all my fears subside.
Whatever Winter brings, I shall not care,
So long as I can face it by your side.
For now I see this season all anew
And take joy in the Autumn leaves and you
