What is it about October <br />That assures you that <br />Spring will be back <br /> <br />The weather hints of changes <br />Leaves are brave enough <br />One by one <br /> <br />To let go <br />Taking momentary flight <br />Abandoning the trees <br /> <br />Making room for new buds <br />Providing cover for the soil <br />And food for those below <br /> <br />Lots of work to get ready <br />For Spring next year <br />To get through Fall and Winter<br /><br />Tom J.
