My Golden Leaves Poem by Marilyn Lott

Oh yes, they're turning golden
They send a message true
How about your trees?
Have your leaves turned golden too?

There are many things we think about
Around this time of year
Memories, ah yes, that go back
So many we hold dear.

The holidays, just ‘round the corner
Thanksgiving then of course Christmas
So much to do, both me and you
We always make such a fuss.

So let's stop and pause, take a deep breath
And just sit a bit and smile
Enjoy the golden leaves for now
They will only last a short while.
