On this beautiful fall Saturday morning, I’m grateful. Looking out my window, the leaves are fluttering on the trees, and some are giving up their lifelong perch and floating gently down to a ground already covered with their neighbors. The sky is blue with a wisp of white here and there, and the app on my phone promises a high of 71. The perfect autumn day! It inspired me to create a quick poem 🙂
Looking out my window, here, I feel such gladness, joy and cheer.
Leaves are falling gently down, they reach with silence, the covered ground.
Winds blow softly through the trees and dismantle the ones that are left, with ease.
A sky of open, endless blue, touched softly by a faint white hue.
A morning crisp with lingering chill yet whispering warmth that soon will fill.
Inside we are blessed with a tranquil start, the result of quiet and peaceful hearts.
A day began with prayer and the Word and assurance that our prayers are heard.
Leftover coffee, some still in the pot, smells awfully delicious, though none of its hot.
In the background, Christmas carols play, Their echo weaving through the gray.
Stirring the heart in a tender way,as autumn quietly slips away.
This day will pass as quickly as ever, no matter how slowly you choose to endeavor.
So, take a breath, take a pause, and savor all the joy it draws.
“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!” – Psalm 118:24
Long walks and dark chocolate
