Beautiful Days Of Autumn

Beautiful Days of Autumn

~ Angela Hall Dobbins

Autumn leaves swirl ‘round in circles

O’er the beautiful, shimmering pond,

And, in the meadow, wildflowers wake

Into the misty fog beyond.

The sparrows seem to dance a ballet

‘Round the oak tree’s branching bows,

And the mockingbirds sing their melodies

In the time to them nature allows.

Little cottontails scamper ‘cross the meadow,

All covered in sparkling dew,

To drink from a stream of rainwater

That has freshly fallen anew.

The squirrel is gathering nuts

For the winter yet to come.

And, though it seems he’s plenty,

He’s always lacking some.

These beautiful days of autumn

The beholder will long remember,

For each reveals the Creator’s heart,

In all its glorious splendor.
