A cup of warm creamy hot chocolate,

a bowl of hot apple cinnamon flavored hot cereal.

Snuggling under my favorite knitted afghan as the crispness of fall

sets in the early morning waking.

… 

Bundled in flannel and a heavy cotton jacket,

crunching in the fallen crisp leaves that lay upon the ground

while you hug the one you love hiking on a favorite trail at the park.

… 

Sitting on a porch, escaped in a favorite book,

a pet curled in your lap, as it looks for warmth in the autumn chill,

snuggling with your children in front of the fire

while you roast weenies and marshmallow smores.

… 

Autumn brings warmth and a need to get close as a new coolness sweeps in.

Time for memories to be made, or memories to be remembered.

… 

Gather close to those who mean the most to you,

to embrace the warmth of fall.

… 

Embrace the change of the season,

and keep those dancing leaves

near to your heart.
