How does it happen. . . like the flip of a lightThose 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. . .
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.
ReplyDeleteIn a blink winter will be here, but in another blink we'll be basking in the warmer spring air.
Lovely.
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!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great post!
