Greetings, Autumn,
How do you do?
A bit stormy, I see?
Travelling through many regions,
Blowing high and low,
Autumn, it really goes to show
How strong your character is
And just how bold you are.
You rise into who you’re called to be.
You know your purpose,
And you wear it well,
With authority and with power.
We welcome you with joy,
Yet with a little apprehension,
For the indoor snuggles and warmth,
Yet the external challenges
Of the downpours you bring…
There’s beauty in your presence,
Despite the rocky storms.
The changing and renewal of your golden leaves,
From the crisp mornings to the cosy evenings.
You are like a canvas, painted with many qualities.
You bridge the gap between summer and winter,
And your darkness allows the sky
To showcase the stars.
The sound of rain against the window pane
Is soothing, calming and peaceful.
A gentle reminder to slow down,
To listen, reflect and simply be.
For even through your changing ways,
There’s something you quietly teach:
That every season carries purpose,
And there’s beauty within our reach.
You remind us that change can be beautiful,
That letting go can make room for something new.
That even when the storms arrive,
There’s still a little light shining through.
So, Greetings, Autumn,
Come as bold as you know how to be.
Bring your golden leaves and cooler days,
Your winds that dance so wild and free.
We’ll embrace the beauty that you bring,
The lessons, the comfort and everything in between.
For you may arrive with wind and rain,
But there’s so much beauty still to be seen.
Greetings, Autumn,
We welcome you once again.
