The colorful leaves of the Fall

Will soon drift towards the ground

Surrendering to winter chills

Invading without making a sound.

Billions of snowflakes will beam down

Hiding the colorful leaves from sight

And witnessing happy children will

Joyfully choose sides for a snow fight.

Happy Dads not to be denied sharing

In their children's playful snow fun

Will show off their bright colored sleds

Moments like these are second to none.
