THE JOYS OF AUTUMN
ReplyDeleteThe Joy of Autumn,
Holds many, Special Things
The Holiday Spirit,
Comes to Fill, the Air
With the Excitement,
of a Child
To Know Christmas,
will Soon be Here
Thinking about,
What is Coming
In Their Very Own,
and Special Ways
For They Hold all, The
Joys of Autumn
In Their Play,
When They Roll upon,
the Leaves
Under the Trees,
to Watch the Leaves
Falling and Soaring,
Like an Airplane
To Think,
of all the Gifts
Coming,
Their Way
Waiting to be Opened,
on that Christmas Day
Under the Tree,
Where all Their Hopes,
Came to be
All the Gifts that Are,
with Thee
Is to Watch a Child,
at Christmas Eve
Opening Their Presents,
with Tears of Joy
Watching the Changes,
in Their Eyes
Lighting Like
the Christmas Tree
When Love Shines,
upon Their Face
Tears Roll down,
Beneath, the Christmas Tree
To Reflect the Love,
of a Child's Joy...
Dedicated To all the Children
