Fall Poems By Rolanda T. Pyle

The Lesson that Autumn Brings

The heat, the beach and the sunny days

The fun, vacation, and the lazy ways

All come to a halt with the summer end

It’s time for the next season, let Autumn begin.

Whether Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, the seasons will change

Bringing a time to refocus and to rearrange

It’s a life lesson that like seasons nothing stays the same

Even when bad times come, Thank God they will not remain.

So while we view the leaves of beautiful colors –orange, rust or brown

Let’s be reminded not to let the difficult seasons of life keep us down

Autumn is a time of seasonal shift

When our focus changes and our goal sifts

Like Autumn, we can grow in this time of transition

Remembering that in this life we all have a mission.

Let’s concentrate on new beginnings and move towards the call

As we keep Autumn in our view and we watch the leaves fall.

FALL

Summer is Done

No more hot sun

Time to gather crops

The temperature drops

The weather is cool

Kids back in school

It’s a time of transition

Time to focus on your mission

It’s a time of change

And Time to rearrange

Beautiful trees

Lose their leaves

Green, orange, rust or brown

They all fall to the ground

Fall is here

Autumn is in the air!!!
