To put one season of the year above the rest,
Many of you think that Autumn is the best.
Subjective logic likely will come into play;
Though I believe it’s simply in your DNA.
For this is Harvest time—the “bringing in the sheaves.”
The whole year’s effort then is seen, and no one grieves.
Then preparation for the winter took firm hold;
And all this happened as the trees would turn to gold.
Each life-style then was used to feeling nature’s crunch;
So Autumn would mean beating nature to the punch!
There are good reasons why your sweaters, coats, and gear
Show lots of color, declarations against fear.
So Autumn comes down to this point, when said and done,
It means, for yet another year, that you have won!
