The Beautiful Autumn of Life

The crispness of Fall

Like the crunching of leaves under foot;

Wood smoke lingering on the air;

And the bite into a tart, crisp apple

With a cool breeze on your cheek

While a gentler sun looks down

Is like the happy autumn of our lives..

Growing older, the sun seems gentler

The breeze is a caress, not a chill

And life has a wonderful new tart flavor

And the time to savor it.

The light is softer now

Days are shorter

But what beautiful days they are!
