Staring out the window where fall has changed the leaves
To gold and bronze and red, some falling from the trees

Landing softly on the landscape among the plants still green
Beneath a clear crisp sky of blue and sun upon the scene

Gaggles of geese on the flyway heading for southern places
Across the heavens in vee shaped flocks that winter soon erases

The changing of the time from summer to a preview of the cold
That follows fall every year as nature's colors there unfold

When all but the evergreen their naked limbs soon will show
The scene of winter bitter cold and the falling of the snow

And when the snow shall cover the earth with a blanket white
We'll soon forget the beauty of the colors in our sight

When we gazed out our windows at the fading light of fall
And colored leaves brightly lit by heaven's golden ball

Were only there so briefly like a painting we've seen before
But couldn't take for our own - so wanted it even more

A cloud that rolls and gathers in the sky
Its exactness has no kin
A crashing wave that breaks upon the sand
Though millions fall none are twin
The falling snow flakes upon the hill and dale
We catch within our hand, alike, no two
And when the rain drops make ripples in a pond
Each different than the others that we view
Of all events that nature plays before our eyes
We find, to us, the very best of all
The moments we spend in sharing our memories
Of time we spent In love’s sweet call

Sometimes I write something that I think is just terrific and no one responds to it. Like a previous post "Toss your fears aside" I thought this was one of my very best pieces and it received no comments. I have looked every day since I wrote it and still nothing. Lots of visitors in and out. Maybe they are looking for something and not finding it.

Well maybe I am just not a good judge of my own works. What ever you do don't feel sorry for me. Just do your own thing. Have a great day.

While we take the path that we may lead
We can wish for all the greatest things
But will our wishes come to pass indeed
Or must we accept what our existence brings

Or can we make our wishes all come true
By only wishing for the possible of those
By focusing not on the wishes that we do
But on ourselves not as thorns but as a rose

To carry on as the blossom full and new
To show the world; that we have the stuff
That draws the others to us for what we do
To be the diamond, but not as in the rough

To polish skills of causing those we meet
To look into our attitude and plainly see
The depth of soul that shows to be complete
And comfort in the knowing what one must be

To hold ones head up high and have no fear
Of being needy so advantage no one will take
One who's life is full and happiness is clear
In being one who's heart will never break

Not going back to another time nor place
But always forward with confidence to burn
Filling days with all your charm and grace
Making dreams come true through what you learn
