A Crisp Autumn Day, enticing aromas filling the air
cool breezes flirting with my stringy auburn hair

Leaves, like a rainbow shimmering in the radiant sunlight
Fills us with overflowing joy, to our heart’s delight

God’s little creatures, scurrying here and there
Sensing a time of urgency, for winter is near

The warm feeling on such a cool blissful day
Recalling fond memories, of where I used to play

Autumn will be short-lived, sprinting fast away
Making every magic moment linger, is what I pray
