Time

How does it happen. . . like the flip of a light
Those lazy, warm days, are now clearly out of our sight!
The vivid colors of one changing oh so fast
Now all there is, is our memories of the past. . .
Beautiful flowers replaced by pumpkins and ghouls
Then before too long. . . lawns and trees are covered in holiday jewels!
Tis the season for family, shopping and a little ho, ho, ho
There's no place I'd rather be. . . not even in a faraway chateau
Then those long winter days so cloudy and grey
Seem to never end. . . seem to never. . . go away
But then once again, like a flip of the light
Trees start to bud, and smells of the new season are right there in sight
How does it happen. . .I sure don't know why
So enjoy. . . don't just sit back and watch time fly by. . .

  1. Like a flip of a switch - it happens so fast! We have a tree in the front of our house. I swear, yesterday the tips of the leaves were bright red, and today I looked out the front window -- the tree is blooming in golden orange and flaming red. Just beautiful.

    In a blink winter will be here, but in another blink we'll be basking in the warmer spring air.

    Lovely.

  2. I always have to remind myself to be excited for the changing of the seasons - that's why I live in the midwest. It just wouldn't feel right if everything stayed green! I would love a little sun today, but I can be patient!

    Thanks for a great post!
