A crisp freshness permeates the air It almost stings your nose as you breathe in. Hats have started to decorate our hair And warm sweaters and scarves have been in. The leaves begin to change color and shed From the trees that they have so dearly clung to. The small and large animals begin to make their beds Preparing for the cold that is to come soon. As the autumn comes and starts to make its way We can all expect it will not stop just yet, But as we listen to the calmness in the day And maybe meet someone we’ve never met, We can have something to look forward to As the days grows shorter and colder, too.
