Summer's over...
The leaves are turning.
Some birds are leaving,
The winds are churning.
The days are shorter,
The nights are colder.
The year's almost over
And I'm getting older.
I sit and watch
The leaves as they fall,
And listen to the Cardinals
As they warble their sweet love’s call.

I love everything about Autumn.
Tho’ I look forward to the snow
And the holidays of winter-
I just hate to see Fall go.
Like the seasons change
So it is with me.
With each year that passes
The girl I was becomes
A memory.
I may never be
The girl I was before;
But like the Autumn winds-
I move on to the next season
And my spirit grows forever more.

*Jo*
