The summer has said a fond farewell
It’s getting cooler I can tell
The leaves are rustling on the ground
Fallen acorns to be found
Squirrels squirrel them for the winter time
So that’s just fine
A hoard of food
So that’s all good
I feel them crunch under my feet
As I walk along the street
Acorns leaves and tiny branches
All along the Woods and Arches
I can’t see the lovely colours these days
It’s all a haze
Of white misty blurr
To others it does not occur
As they go about their busy lives
And I sit here and try to work out what to do…
My heart is beating and I’m just fine
But my vision is on a steep decline
And left alone I now be
As people rush about their day
And not say hey
Come out with me
For lunch or tea
The winter leaves are falling
And new climes are calling
