Signs of Autumn
Trees dancing in a brisk breeze,
Leaves scurrying across the ground.
Their colors range from green to yellow and from gold to brown,
As more of them disengage from the trees to fall to the land.
The nights get cooler, as do the days.
The clouds seem to rise higher in the sky where they form bands.
Autumn’s beauty can be appreciated in so many ways.
You can sit on a park bench and watch the leaves fall
Or walk through the woods and hear the birds call.
You lose yourself in the clouds flying up high
Or watch as the geese fly south as they take to the sky.
It’s a colorful time and there is so much to see
One must take time to admire the work as the tree
Prepares itself for the oncoming winter with its rain, wind and snow.
It is all part of our creators plan as we watch seasons come and go.
From spring to summer and fall and to winter,
It is exciting for us as each one we enter.
Enjoy, and Praise God!
Blessings,
Christine

Yes, the leaves outside my window are turning too...a sure sign that they are about to make their final colorful display before forever departing.
Did you ever watch Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter? He died yesterday...got stung by a stingray while filming underwater in Australia. Made me sad...he was only 44. Now you see, he had free will, he took the risk...How fitting is my poem FREE WILL! So, like the falling leaves of autumn, young Steve made his final curtain call underwater. So sad!
God Bless...
