There is a hint in the sunlight,
It is not as harsh as it was a few weeks ago.
Now it seems kinder, softer, and not as bright.

You can taste it in the air.
Warm, lazy days are still here,
But at night, just a taste of coolness is there.

Green leaves and grass still flourish on trees and ground.
Every now and then a soft breeze blows and you can see
Yellow and gold, hidden yet, but ready to astound.

School bells ring and children rush to learn.
Warm days and cooling nights bring a smile.
My favorite time of year; Autumn is on the return.
