Time for autumn
by Mary Ellen Smith
Time for autumns musty scent
The fallen leaves of summer spent.
Time that squirrels stop their play
To gather nuts throughout the day.
Time for muted sunshine clouds
Skies a wing with traveling crowds.
Time has come for pumpkin dishes
For kids to think of Christmas wishes
Time to wear a woolly sweater
Oh, cozy days are always better.
Time for hearts to be thanks giving
Happy for the life theyre living.
Time for raking with the rake
Up the gift that fall trees make.
Stop a moment they bid you please
Admire the colors of their leaves.
