The trees now wear a faded green Summer's almost done Soon Mother Earth will change things And another year will be gone.

Color of Fire red, yellow and orange Faded green and varied brown With Autumn rain and gusty wind All come falling down.

The rain falls often to cool things down The days grow short and chill A welcome relief to summer heat In the air a quiet still.

The carpet now beneath my feet Is soft with a color kiss As if the Mother were tossing in things Just to make Autumn bliss.

Mother Earth tucks the Nature in For a soft, gentle Winter sleep The leaves are like a downy quilt Soft and warm and deep.

Nature now is quiet and still A sleepy feeling in the air And all around me is at peace Enjoying Autumn fair.
