Fall Thoughts

Red leaves, orange pumpkins, and bittersweet vines.
Do you cry when the leaves fall?

Red leaves, orange pumpkins, and bittersweet vines.
Do you cry when the leaves fall?
Glorious summer days,
sunshine all around.
Beautiful summer nights,
fireworks abound.
In the park June greets us with her roses.
Their beautiful colors and sweet scents give us Hope and Peace.
Sticks, leafless and devoid of life, turn into the overflowing, yellow glory of the forsythia.
When did it happen? I surely don’t know
But honestly it distresses me so.
I look in the mirror and what do I see?
Certainly no one that looks like me!
The winter snow, slippery ice, bitter cold temperatures, and wind chills are gone.
We gather on the green, the sidewalks, and the roadways to honor and remember those who died in service to our country.
Watching the birds on a snowy morning
They come and go without any warning
Nibbling and fleeing, as flighty they are
Running away, but not very far.
