The Autumn angel is visiting our town,
Spreading her beauty of the fall season.
Soon we will be giving thanks to God,
For a bountiful year shall be the reason.

I welcome this special time of the year.
When the heat of summer starts to fade.
As the leaves turn from green to brown,
In a strong northern wind they cascade.

In the fields farmers harvest their crops,
While storing grain for feed this winter.
Children carve pumpkins as jack-o-lanterns,
In costumes for treats they are enchanters.

This is such a wonderful time of the year.
Nature‘s glory looks like a beautiful painting.
Our earth is covered in shades of brown,
Orange and golden brilliance never waning.

Now this autumn angel prepares all the
Plants and creatures for a long winter sleep.
Our earth will only be waiting for spring,
When again the cycle of life will repeat.

Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year.
I love the cooler weather and the beautiful fall colors.
