	 Autumn Always Comes  
Sun surrenders to overcast skies 
Leaves change from green to red 
The days get a little shorter 
The air gets a little crisper 
 
Gone is the heat of summer 
As memories of vacation fade 
Everyone buckles down and gets to work 
As the holidays appear on the horizon 
 
Break out the heavy coats 
Pack away the swimsuits 
Scarves replace shorts 
And sandals become boots 
 
Some resent the encroaching dreariness 
Others rejoice as the world transitions 
But whether you look forward to it or not 
Autumn always comes
