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
