The year is over halfway through
The green leaves start to turn
The temperatures begin to drop
The days begin to lose their burn

Soon, the birds will take to flight
Start their south bound trip
The clocks all get set back an hour
The daylight starts to slip

Autumn time should be cherished
The cool winds start to blow
The last chance for some outdoor fun
Before we're under snow

Multicolored leaves break free
And from the trees they fall
Sit back, relax, and strive to grasp
The beauty of it all
