Autumn Lullaby

Autumn Lullaby - Bridget St. John

As autumn comes

I stay behind and gather sounds she leaves for me

She sings

Be gentle be kind this is not always easy

But if a man should ask for more

Don't be afraid to give

And when he dares not ask at all

Then offer what you have

She shows me pine and cedar tree

Magnolia yew and tamarisk

The evergreen is ever free

I hear her I remember this

I shuffle with October leaves

And worn out wings of butterflies

Through water whispers grokking weeds

I sing her autumn lullaby
