Once in a while on an autumn morning,
Take a walk.
Look up at the shady trees,
Smile at the dogs passing by
Gawk at the high rises
Cast a kind glance
At the rag picker staggering by.
Pause for the passing car
Gaze at the pretty lass
Look kindly at the world
Rushing by.
Winter will be here soon.
On an autumn morning
Take a walk
Taking stock of your life.
