"God's Gift"
I talked with God just yesterday
For it was early spring;
I watched His green world come to life ~
A most inspiring thing.
I walked with Him through summer
And watched the whole world grow;
I basked in summer's sunshine
And prayed 'twould never go.
But I awoke this morning,
And autumn filled the air;
The green leaves turned to crimson,
And God was everywhere.
I strolled through field and woodland,
Ablaze on every knoll,
A preview of God's heaven;
Its beauty filled my soul.
Tomorrow will be winter,
And God will still be there;
But I'm sure He sent me autumn,
His jeweled gift to share.

Autumn is very much a gift to us, isn't it Joanne! I only wish we could get together and share a cup of hot spiced cider while we visited. That would make autumn perfect!
