Autumn gives her very best.
She makes sure the land is blessed.
Her artistry will cheer the soul
As she fulfills her annual role.
She brings jovial celebration
With her color-burst creation.
Painting with bright orange and reds,
Gloriously her joy she spreads.
To express her warmth to all
Is her treasured annual call.
But as she finishes her stay
Then she’ll sigh and slip away.
