Gifts of Autumn


Autumn brings us misty mornings
With a crispness in the air,
Sapphire blue skies shining brightly,
And a brilliance everywhere.

Autumn brings us painted hillsides
With their foliage all ablaze --
Reds and yellow, scarlet, amber
set against a purple haze.

Autumn brings us crimson maples,
Aspens that are gowned in gold,
Evergreens that lend their color -- 
All a beauty to behold!

Autumn brings us mums and asters,
Goldenrod and cattails tall,
Frosty evenings, warmth of fireside,
Full moon that gold-glimmers all.

Autumn brings us fruitful harvest,
Blessings with each day unfolding --
Gifts from God all gracious hand.
