Autumn in Keddie

Golden oak leaves filled with light

Bear remnants of the color green

Just days before bent branches full

Gave this Resort a different scene

The berry vines along its trails

Exhausted by the fruit they shared

Lay down to rest and thank the ground

As Fall rains strip these vines now bare 

And late at night the Bears will roam

‘Neath moonlit skies they find their way

To eat the apples from the trees

In town near Keddie’s small café’

Log Cabins lined along the roads

Their roofs a soft leaf canopy

Bring color to the old wood roofs

A picture of what Fall should be

A whistle from a coming train

Toots near the “Keddie Y” each day

A tribute to this railroad town

Its old Hotel and quaint Café

For now I’ll take another glance

Appreciating Autumn’s scene

Along the streets of this small town

Where Keddie showed its heart to me

I breath this picture in my soul

When Autumn gave its colors bright

To view again on days of snow

As Winter paints this picture white
