Van Buren County in Autumn:

Merry leaves prance happily clad in red and gold
In their Autumn splendor bundled 'gainst the cold
For year's end is nearing and with a simple dance
That echoes 'cross the county like whispers from the past

Lay your burdens down dear heart you've surely earned a rest
Listen to the melody find its rhythm in your chest
And in this time of stillness one can drop one's pen
There'll come a time tomorrow to take it up again
