Autumn Gathering
Blue skies and gentle clouds unfold,
A blazing of reds and golds,
Embellishing a countryside as,
The call of the old Church holds.
The coloring spreads forth its beauty,
To one meadow by and by,
Where golden fields of Indian corn,
Stand higher beneath God's sky.
Yes an Autumn Gathering embarks,
Tranquil and composed as geese,
Gently glide on down from the heavens,
Possessing with ease their peace.
And every harvesting's picturesque,
The time for bringing in crops,
Having corn stalks and pumpkins and squash,
Decorating roadside shops.
Painted whispers of Autumn are God's,
Rainbow of colors that raise,
The eyes to watch the stunning changes,
From dawn to dusk as leaves blaze.
The very hand of God awakens,
Every leaf to fresh new blooms,
Like roses and scarlets so vivid,
New crisp air bathes of perfumes.
The month of October's our party,
Invited guests are the same,
The Chestnuts, Oaks and Maples leading,
The leaves of every name.
Leaves changing green foliage to brighter,
Fall colors for a carpet,
Turn out spectacular scenery,
Lighting a glorious sunset.
Beautiful Autumn leaves come aglow,
With an enchantment that charms,
The senses into times long ago,
So breathtaking life disarms.
Genuine beauty calling the heart,
To give Almighty God Praise,
For another Autumn Gathering,
Rendering His sweet displays.
