This Is Fall



 


When the mild days of Summer fade


To the coolness of Fall,


My heart wants to sit in the shade


Still feeling Summer’s crawl.


 


Leaves turn yellow, goldened by sun


Shining out this morning.


Kids rake a pile to have some fun.


‘Tis Winter's nice warning.


 


But when it rains, it seems so glum.


We move quickly indoors


Where the furnace fan does its hum


And think of making s’mores.


 


Soon snow and cold will be out there


And we’ll want to shovel,


A chore I like and used to share.


Now the plow will “gobble.”


 


We’ll wish that we could stay indoors


Instead of going out.


To miss appointments we implore –


T’would be a plan we’d tout.


 


We praise God for all the seasons


Even for the Winter,


But all our days are good reasons


To keep Him at center!
