COUNTING IT ALL JOY!
Change of season
Brings breezes
Of cooler weather
Fall colors
Burning in radiant rays
Of ruby reds
And golden hues
Of rich beauty
Dancing Leaves
Fluttering through
The blue grey skies
Showing us how to play
As we wrap up
In sweaters
As children run
For costumes
Of joyous fun and laughter
October dances
Happily as a child free at play
Don't lose that
Laughter
That gives way to play
It only comes
Out
In October
