AN INEVITABLE CHANGE

FALL IS THAT TIME OF YEAR
FOR THE CHANGING OF THE GUARDS, 
THOSE LEAVES THAT WERE GREEN 
ALL SUMMER LONG, 
BECOMES DECORATION FOR ONES YARD.

FOR SOME ITS A NUISANCE,
A DREAM THAT SHOULD NOT COME THROUGH, 
BUT FOR THE PETS AND CHILDREN OUT OF SCHOOL, 
THERE ARE SO MANY FUN THINGS, THAT THEY CAN DO.

I LOVE THE VARIOUS COLORS OF LEAVES 
THAT THE FALL WEATHER BRINGS,
A WONDERFUL CHANGE OF THE EVERGREEN,
THAT MAKES MY HEART SINGS.

FALL REMINDS ME OF MY FRAGILE LIFE,
ONCE GREEN AND FILLED WITH STRENGTH, 
THEN COMES THE FALL 
WHEN THE GREY MOON APPEARS, 
AND A CANE, BECOMES MY WAY OF STRENGTH.
