Fall Colors<br />
Golden yellows <strong>and</strong> crimson reds, And some pale green <strong>and</strong> brown.It's mother nature's lovely gift.<br />
Which soon comes swirling down. But what a display, if only for a day. In nature's scheme of things<br />
So let's enjoy the beautiful colors - For they're soon gone on autumn wings.<br />
