Autumn Memories by Theresa Zuber

Memories of childhood drift past like falling leaves
Autumn cool – jacket weather – corn stalks stacked in sheaves
Mountains of brown leaves piled up to the sky
Perfect for running – jumping – or tossing way up high
Hayrides on starry nights filled with lots of laughter and talk
Shoes crunching noisily on a long slow walk
Picking up nuts that have fallen from the trees
Checking winter weather cutting persimmon seeds
Sitting round a campfire roasting “dogs” and s’mores
Listening to the firewood pop, crackle and roar
Apple cider, football games and pumpkins all around
Fall is filled with blessings – every sight and every sound
