Pumpkins in the pumpkin patch
Their colors bright and bold
Biting frost on everything
As a transformation unfolds.

Our world completely changes
As autumn comes along
The amazing smells this time of year
Are tangy... sweet... and strong.

With holidays approaching
Excitement’s everywhere
Problems fade and worries go
We don’t seem to have a care.

So enjoy this precious season
Be a child for all the parts
A treasure that God gives us
To warm and thrill our hearts!
