a moment in the sun

The yard was neatly cut ,the roses were losing there luster .It was fall now the temperature hadn't changed that much ,but there was that cool nip in the air ,the unmistakable sign that the leaves would be changing from their lush green hues into their brilliant fall colors .The little blonde headed boy was playing with his tonka trucks at his usual place by the tree where he and his toys had built tunnels ,raised mountains ,fought in innumerable battles against some unknown foe in the days of summer.But the season was changing .He hears his mother call ,he runs to see what she might want with him .She lovingly points to a spot by the whitewashed house were the sun is shining bright . This spot she points to is brighter than the whole yard ,she tells the boy lets get the toys so you can play over here.They both grab what toys are over by the tree and there they set up so that they can both enjoy the moment in the sun .And isn't that what we all really want ....a moment in the sun.
