I touched the Autumn today,
As I walked among God's treasures.
Where multicolored leaves abound,
Bestowing untold pleasures.

I saw the Autumn today.
It called to me unceasingly,
Hurry, come out and play
Before I have to leave thee.

I smelled the Autumn today.
Such a crispness to the air.
It filled my heart and soul;
No other season can be so fair.

I heard the Autumn today.
As the geese overhead flew high,
They were telling me, "It's time,"
And sadly I bid them goodbye.

I tasted Autumn today.
Persimions and possum grapes galore,
Deep purple jelly to see winter through
And fruitbread not found in any store.

Autumn fills the senses;
God meant it to be that way.
He's preparing us for the future;
I wouldn't have it any other way.
