Autumn Blessing

Autumn brings to the soul relief,

As hot Summer days, slip to an end

God sent the season for weary hearts

To restore, repair and mend.

Unlike the Autumn trees,

That shed their changing leaves

God sent the season for failing hearts

To adhere, embrace and cleave.

Just as with the Autumn winds,

There comes a new refreshing rain

God sent the season for fraying hearts

To increase, grow and gain.

The Autumn sun is slow to climb,

And dips much earlier into the night

God sent the season for sleepy hearts

To rise, shine and awake in His light.

God gave to us the Autumn season,

So we could have a respite and rest

For it is the season for our beset souls

To see how much we are blessed!
