Wales' Tales 10/12/15

Colored leaves go dancing

Down the wind-blown street.

Kids make preparations

For yelling “Trick or Treat!”

Smoke curls out of chimneys

As the days grow cool,

Time to take the screens down,

Cover up the pool.

Memories come flooding

As the days go past

Bringing back the moments

of shadows that were cast

by the words of loved ones,

Laughter, joy and tears,

All the things which happened

In the passing years.

Shadows by the window,

Meals spread cross the board,

All the hopes of living

Wishing we could hoard

All the cherished fun times

Living does provide,

Thinking of the loved ones

Who once did sit beside.

Cuddled ‘neath the blanket

Spread upon the laps,

Putting on warm mittens

And soft woolen caps,

Walking in the twilight,

Watching the sun set,

Filled with autumn color

Times we can’t forget.

Staring at the stars above,

In the chilly night,

Recognizing God’s sure love,

Delighting in the sight

of wonder and renewal,

of joy that will not cease,

sharing in the comfort of

God’s unending…

                        Peace,
