Thoughts of days lived 11/9/83

I found a leaf on the car today
Dropped gently from the nearby Maple
Colored yellow with soft pink lines
And I thanked God for this simple gift

The fireplace crackled, with old cut wood
Sparks danced and exploded with life
Warmth radiated from behind the screen
And I snuggled close to my husband

I watched the squirrels play Saturday
Chasing and running, circling the trees
Looking for a partner to spend winter with
And I look forward to the baby squirrels in spring

The summer is gone, it is now autumn
A cold wind kisses my face and frost now forms
The trees are shedding their leaves
And I wait for the first snow
