Waste not, this precious gift

Whirling….swirling…. leaves, they fall

from thinning Autumn trees

Nostalgic feelings float in whispers

The years, tempered thieves

From hopscotch to high school

The clock, ticking away

Turn around, where does it go?

Measure of time, no delay

Fist raised, carpe diem!

Seize the day, take heed

Forget tomorrows test,

For it will come, topspeed

Waste not, this precious gift

Of heartbeat and breath

I shall embrace, without haste

Until my time of death

Longevity; my wish for us

As long as we remember

To live out loud, and love full force

Dancing flames to smoldering ember

Forgive long, pardon all

For yourself and inner peace

Stand tall, break down the wall

Negativity, released

As Autumn folds, I look ahead

Flipping calendar page to next

Hopeful for tomorrows promise

A season of sound effects

Hark the herald angels sing

Repeat the sounding joy

Glory to the newborn King

A tiny baby boy

Oh December with all of your wonder

Season of good tidings and giving love

May we all embrace together

Taking direction from above

See you soon friend,
Tiffany

PS I think tomorrow Breakfast at Tiffanys shall include Christmas music and mulling spices. Let the decorating begin!
