Welcome turning, welcome change
Welcome graceful dying, glory displayed,
Welcome roots, go deeper still
Welcome snow, welcome chill
Shimmering leaves take in your light
Frame it in those quaking veins
Hold the glow with all your might
But holding light illicits change
For shining you will be for days
A memory of summer's rays
Bring glory to our Source and Light
But when it's done give up the fight
Fall down upon the forest floor
Not in defeat or loss or shame
But because you thirst for more
For you reflect your Maker's name
Remember the promise of spring and rain
Of height and depth and broader views
The promise that you won't be the same
But more of Him and less of you
