Tears Of Autuman

Tears of Autumn
Autumn is here; the trees tell me so,Dropping their leaves, like tears long ago.A reminder of what has been,Of what will come again.There will come the Wings of Spring,The joy of hearing the birds sing,Coming softly as a budding roseThat brings such pleasure to the nose.Winter can be a canvas of beauty,Clouds of snow, expressing its duty.The earth is my home. I love it well.One day I must leave it, just when I can't tell.One year into another, they form a chain,Things I would do over-some, never again.Heartache, pain, happiness with each of the seasons,With faith, my heart tells me, there's always a reason.
