Graciously, joy drifts softly in the chilly air
Edging the bud of an autumn rose to
Reveal the petals of hope and
Awake with the splendor of colder days
Unfolding in the brilliant colors of a
Dawning show.

Kindled in a warming blush and
Engaging the promised bloom in
Loveable and poetic play, the
Laughter opens to bloom again and again
Yearning for a loving touch.
