Autumn leaves will soon be falling
time to put the flowers to bed
they'll make a beautiful blanket
of yellow, gold, and red
Rose petals will rest on the ground
Summers warmth will fade away
and butterflies we used to watch
will soon no longer play
bees cocooned within their hives
will no longer make a flight
their jobs are done in the sun
will hibernate day and night
birds leaving for a warmer place
will fly and follow the sun
build new nest, take time to rest
and bask in the warmth when done
swings will be taken off the porch
withered flowers will follow too
colors of the season will amaze
as Autumn will start anew
