Matty and Mommy: Fall Change

by Becca Brown

Fall is here, Matty

Mommy said

What is fall?

I scratch my head

Fall is a season

Three months of the year

After summer before winter

You know fall is here

For mommy and me

Fall means change

It’s different to summer

And that feels strange

In summer we swim

At Sandy Beach it’s hot

The beach is now closed

In the fall when it’s not

The sun shines bright

On warm summer days

I see the sun less

Fall sky is more gray

It’s dark in my room

Mommy says night night

Next to my bed

There’s a new nightlight

It’s cold outside

I wear a jacket

My pajamas have pants

My bed a thick blanket

My backyard is rainbow

Red, orange, yellow, and brown

Soon trees will be bare

Leaves fall to the ground

Fall is different to summer

That is true

But change is good

New things to do
