Each time a leaf falls
Another heart shatters
Each time the wind blows
Another break up
But each time a pumpkin is carved
A date is planned
Each time a cider donut is devoured
Another kiss
Another night
Another bit of love

Cinderella
With her strong arms
From scrubbing the floors
Cinderella
With her patience
From working with horrible people
Cinderella
With her kind heart
Every day
At a 3
I would walk home
Taking the same path
In fall I would admire
The trees and colors
One evening I saw a tree
With one little leaf
It was bright red
Standing out against
Hand in hand we walked down the path, littered with colorful leaves. A gust of wind swirled the leaves around us. Encompassing us in our own little world. I looked up, the trees bent over us with shades of red, orange and yellow.

Aw! It's true, autumn winds can be foreboding but the season's festivities sure do bring people together.
