As I sit outside taking in the cool breeze I become reminiscent summer’s passing, as the season of fall makes its bold appearance.
During the summer the trees keeps all of our
secrets.
We attended parties; camping trips, barbecues.
People came and went in and
out of our lives.
We had sorrow, happiness and laughter all the
while knowing that the warmth of summer would dissipate and we would once again
seek the shelter of our homes to protect us from the cold.
Now looking at the leaves on the trees falling
one by one we know that our secrets of summers past will always remain safe.
With each leaf drying up in the cool Fall’s wind, we are once again reminded
that the snow of winter’s presence will take its place and hold all of our
memories in nature’s revolving keepsake box.
