Through smiles and tears and pains and fears.. |
The Busy Days of Autumn The trees shake away their leaves to cover the ground. Their colors have turned crimson red, burnt orange, and gold. It’s a reminder of the colder days ahead. The time of year to take a drive through tree-lined roads Or even walk along wooden paths To appreciate Nature’s breathtaking color show. On such a walk the brisk air quickens our pacing steps And happy thoughts fill our heads. A friendly nod to a passerby And the clear blue sky above Gives us a sense of jubilation That it’s going to be another great day. Pumpkins and haystacks spring up everywhere And scary decorations are put on display To the delight of children of all ages. Soon our young ones Will go trick or treating And amuse us with their Halloween wear. And none-too soon holiday lights will appear. The stores will ready their festive displays And the child in all of us will come alive. It’s a happy time of the year. The days grow short and soon We will be at another year’s end. Autumn is also a time to reflect On the loss of loved ones And pray they are happy in their better place. We celebrate life on their behalf And cherish our short time Left on this earth. Through smiles and tears And pains and fears Through thick and thin Let’s strive not to despair. But keep our Faith strong As each Autumn moves along. |
