This Time of Year

As I gaze across at the trees in my yard
I wonder if winter will be hard
The trees are starting to shed their leaves
I'm thinking what's winter got up her sleeves?

The landscape holds wonder now it's true
Shades of crimson and amber too
But soon a blanket of white will be laid
And all this beauty will too soon fade

Winter can be quite lovely too
When the snowing sky is silver-blue
Then Christmas with the blinking lights
Beautifying cold dark nights

Yet Autumn is my favorite time
The countryside's so rich and sublime
The smell of cider,the crisp cool air
And glorious colors everywhere

I love this time of year so much
With all the holidays and such
So bring it on-this seasonal treasure
And we'll have several months of pleasure!
