The Final Season
In the gardens so anticipated
When the summer just began
Stand plants naked of the produce
That grandma already canned
The children are almost happy
To see their many friends
as the school doors are opened wide
and the students are filing in
Summer tans will soon be fading
and the air will chill each night
when Halloween approaches
to bring an autumn fright
Trees will be undressing
with colors so defined
as a painting could do no justice
before their leaves are left behind
Autumn brings such wonder
and hope for a better year
but it also is the time in life
that many often fear
For winter comes right behind it
and it closes the book of life
Some see it as ending paradise
Others look forward to ending their strife
But whatever winter brings you
if not another year
Be certain that there's a spring ahead
both far away and here
