Fall Descending

A palette of fall hues around us
Ochre, cinnamon, and vermilion
Foliage ready to leave, lingering until you came
A gift readily given, a token of love


How was I to know you'd teach me
More than I could ever show you
Love beyond what is
Patience beyond what could be

Find your place in the sun

Don't forget to have fun
Make the world  a better place
Happy birthday, son.
