COUNTING IT ALL JOY!
Time changes
Darkness comes early
With the leafs dancing
And twirling around
From the blowing winds of change
November brings home fires burning
With Thanksgiving
And family gatherings
Around the hearth
Little ones await
With chatter and laughter
As time waits for no one
As the season changes from one to another
From the rising sun
To the moonlit nights
The coldness of the earth
The first snows of the season
That blanket her in sparkling glory
As she rest in the early snow beds
In rich colors only November can bring
Time waits for no one
