As leaves drift down in golden hues,
The world prepares for change anew.
A whisper rides the crisp, cool air:
It’s time to plan, it’s time to care.
The harvest comes, the days grow short,
A season wise for self-report.
Like squirrels who stash their winter store,
Now’s the time to prepare once more.
Review the budgets, check the goals,
Revisit dreams that stir your soul.
Are savings growing? Are debts on track?
Do future plans have what they lack?
The year’s end looms, the holidays near,
Expenses rise as joy draws near.
But autumn’s calm, its measured pace,
Gives you the gift of mindful space.
Adjust your path, refine your view,
Look at what’s old and plan for the new.
Retirement funds, investments’ flow,
And rainy-day reserves that grow.
The winds of change, they softly say,
Balance is key, don’t drift away.
For just as trees shed leaves to thrive,
Your financial health keeps dreams alive.
So brew some tea, take time to see,
The map of your prosperity.
With autumn’s wisdom, bold and clear,
You’ll greet the promise of the year.
