the skies turning grey in autumn's light
the leaves change to orange and gold
we, like nature, sometimes need to change
making the world all our own

a toddler learning to walk later runs
his soul uplifted into new dreams
it's natural we make changes now and again
leaving behind those we love

but once upon a midnight clear
when the moon shines upon our lives
we slowly blend into new lifestyles
and discover our old friends
