A winter chill draws near in the air
Making the trees shiver and shake
As autumn dawns free and fair
The scent of pumpkin spice as people bake

Crisp and clear as butterfly wings
As leaves fall to the ground
The joy of the holidays my heart sings
Of challenges the year-round

A new year quickly dawns
The hope of a new year blooms
As the pain of the old year exits with a yawn
And the new year through your head does zoom
