I am from the cool breeze that sweeps the leaves off the branches
Leaves changing colors as if they were a new set of clothes
The breeze taking me away to happiness

I am from the sweet sound of children laughing on halloween night
Their costumes scaring away the monsters
While they munch on sweet candy

I am from the sun giving way to winter
The dark days preventing the warmth the flowers cherish
Leaving us yearning for warmth

I am from the footsteps of my ancestors
Who died before me
having paved the path to a new future for their descendants
