if i live long enough to embrace Autumn once more.

     i will breathe in its air like it's my last inhale.

         i will not assume that i am entitled for an encore.

  if i make my 52'nd birthday this Autumn, in this life i will know,  i have not failed.

             the rusty reds, perfect peaches and October orange hues are a beauty that has no rival !

      Autumn is my mistress, she is a very special part of my own survival.

      Autumn like my 52'nd birthday is at my doorstep knocking.

            Autumn is the season that has kept this half century year old man young and rocking.

give me the cool nights by a crackling smokey fire.

      give me those colors Autumn that, only YOU can share and that I desire.

and take away the ***** sweaty feeling of summer.

    summer, the season that is always such a drag, to me, a ******.

           Autumn, bring me back to sunday sauce and long sleeves.

bring me back to trees full of unique hues and mesmerizing leaves.

     buh bye summer, i don't care if i were to ever see you again.

              52, with another Autumn under my belt makes me...indeed

one of the luckiest men.
