Changing

As the sun shines through the trees
The leaves are swaying in the breeze
Colours changing from green to red
Similar things happening in the flower bed.
 
Flowers that once bloomed so bright
Often die suddenly in the night
Plants that once were tall and strong
Life from them just seems to have gone.
 
Autumn creeps upon us without a sound
Leaves and conkers cover the ground
Morning frosts without warning appear
Its the stunning changing time of year.
