October October whispers in my ear, Winter's snow is ever near; Chilling winds whip to and fro, Bare stems where Roses used to grow:
Sadness taps on window pane, As season sings its last refrain; Then sunlight peers through clouded sky, Reminding me of nature's plight:
Each season bears a lesson learned, Sorrows reaped, pleasures earned; Reflecting memories, settle in, Of faces met on paths, and then . . .
October whispers in my ear, I will return, never fear; Winter has a lesson too, Do not miss its gift to you: ©Bobby Smith 2002
