October Eighth

I don’t mind having a fall birthday

The leaves are gorgeous

Everything smells good

Halloween decorations are up

The weather is just right

But the day after my birthday

Tastes bittersweet

And smells like sadness

It reminds me

That all good things

Must come to an end

Sooner than we’d like

But the day after my birthday

Means it’s almost Halloween

Which means it’s almost Thanksgiving

Which means it’s almost Christmas

So, no

I don’t mind having a fall birthday

🙂
