TODAY’S VISIONS

 TODAY’S VISIONS
  
 Just a glance to the north
 Trees with branches full of
 Technicolor leaves catching the
 Light of the southern sun fills us
 With enchanting feelings
  
 Father Frost has been busy
 He is a show-off and pretends
 That all of this is easy 
  
 We are infatuated with the one we are with
 And pass through the seasons together
 Years slip by while we hardly notice
 We dance our way through all kinds of weather
 Soon we find ourselves in our autumn
 We are thankful for the beauty we find
 When the right sun shines on us
  
 All things in time 
 Is not hard to understand
 Denial is not an ally 
 It will never change your feelings
 Trees drop their leaves  
 Then have new beginnings
  
 We stand tall and are soothed by 
 Our genuine feelings for each other
 Never too proud
 We can accept small year-by-year changes
 Aware that our leaves may finally fall
 Maybe not now, but soon
 And then, our new beginnings
  
 But first we must face another truth
 Snow falls deep in December 
 It is no longer November and
 April is still months away
 We will make the best of this
 Isn't that what we always do?
