October, bring me home to all the scents I so adore
clothe me in cinnamon dreams and help me collect
all the colors that I so lovingly wrapped
with burlap's gentle touch !
October, blush me with orange and tangerines
tint my lips with red and crimson sheen
and as the fall foliage falls away from me,
bring me a mug of pumpkin spice, Oh please
October, while your busy bagging gold
I am gathering dry leaves at my feet
Raking in hopes for a mild mild winter,
and marshmallows roasting by a lovely fireside.
After the first hard frost comes the gentle snow,
then later on if we are lucky, a beautiful warm spring in toe...
