Beautiful Autumn is finally here
Scents of a fresh breeze told us it was near

Oh but soon we shall see the leaves
A golden hue of green and gold on the trees
Saying goodbye to summer, some will find it sad
Yet we know others will be delighted and glad

As time flies we now know Fall will be on it's way
With the fallen leaves for children to laugh and play

Now we ponder what lies ahead but let us not be distressed
For as surely now Winter we will be blessed
Awesome "Wonders" about Winter we know
Let us plant a Tiny Seed underneath the snow

Ah, Heavenly Spring will soon be around the bend
Always a wonderful new beginning it will send
As we may freeze in the Winter's cold
Remember Spring comes Alive so gentle yet bold

Then we see something small and green
Could it be the Rose in Spring?
We planted deep beneath the snow
A Miracle how God made it grow

Recalling the story in the Bible we read
Our Faith in God is the Promised seed
Four seasons to us He will forever bring
Their awesome beauty to make our hearts sing

But for today let us enjoy the Autumn scenes
While the other seasons remain in our dreams


May God Bless You All This Autumn Day
