From the poem ‘Autumn’ by my delightful cousin Jan Gemmell:
Autumn is fast approaching, and the leaves turn into gold,
The days becoming shorter, the soil becoming cold,
Yet it’s not all that depressing; glorious gifts abound,
There’s much to fill the heart with joy if one just looks around.
The trees are shedding mantles to prepare for season spring,
Brisk winds rustle dying leaves, and make the wind chimes ring,
I clothe my feet in sturdy shoes and crunch the falling leaves
Which tumble from the bushes and whirl around the eaves.
You and Jan have captured the essence of ‘gold’.
You’re very kind, Joyce. Thanks so much.
Very pretty. And I loved the poem.
Thanks very much, Debbie. I’ll pass that on to Jan. 🙂
The trees are gorgeous in their autumn leaves, and your cousin’s poem is very pretty.
Thanks so much, Val. I will pass on your message to Jan. 🙂
Splendid colours and lovely poem.
Thanks very much from my cousin and myself. 🙂
