There is a touch of Autumn in the air.                                    14440943_332498027098579_1325251715465713705_n-fbtl

Birds are busy flying every where.

Autumn has arrived a month late.

And birds have to act, not hesitate.

They search for shelter from the cold wind,

A place, they sense, is easy to defend.

Birds are just trying to survive.

They want to keep their loved one’s alive.

Still, they find the time to soar the sky

And wave their wings to God as they fly by.                                                       Facebook photo- Oct. 2016.

 

The strong wind of Autumn strikes my door

And urges me to bundle up for more.

I choose to stock my shelves to over-flowing,

So i can eat well when the snow starts blowing.

My faithful dog keeps me company,

And when I walk her, she protects me.

I read and write to fill my hungry mind.

Still, I miss the touch of human kind.

By loving God and others, I’m made whole,

For I am feeding my lonely soul.

She’s a sweet little lady


And very protective of me.


Her eyes are no longer sharp,


And she can barely see.


 



She’s aware of all I do,


For her ears are turned my way.


They track my every movement.


She listens to what I say.


 


She loves to lay beside me


At night when darkness falls.


We both treasure the silence,


Before the night-owl calls.


 


My Sheltie soon grows weary.


Her breathing becomes deep.


I sing her sweet lullabies


As she gently goes to sleep.


 


When her soul enters heaven,


And she leaves this earth behind,


I hope that she’ll remember


I loved her and was kind.

Found on Pinterest on 10-12-16. Dan Ashbach. Autumn- a walk in the woods.



Days grow shorter in October


When the wind blows from the North.


Autumn leaves drift gently downward


As tall trees bend back and forth.


 


Breezes dance across my face


And leave cold kisses on my cheeks.


I feel alive as I walk


The forest floor where Nature speaks.


 




Joy arises in my soul





When I touch trees with my hands.





I feel a part of tree and wind.





Few people really understand.







Come and listen to the silence.





Feel God’s Spirit all-a-round.





When you walk in the forest,





Know you’re touching sacred ground.

When I am filled with dark despair,

Found on Pinterest on 12-20-16 and facebook.com. Tammikuun Aurinko.


I notice geese fly through the air.


When teardrops fall from my eyes,


I see the sunshine in blue skies.


When it seems all hope is gone,


Daylight comes with a new dawn.


When it seems I can’t let go,


I’ve learned from nature to say “no”.


When the world seems at an end,


I’ve learned, on me, I can depend.


The power of the human mind


Can leave the darkness far behind.

The world is such a lonely place


When you’re feeling “upside down.”


No one stops to talk to you


If you wear a frown.


They see you as invisible,


Not even worth their while.


They turn their faces away,


When you try to smile.


They do not know the grief inside


You try so hard to carry,


Nor do they comprehend the pain


From losses that tarry.


It’s difficult to see at first


The strength that love can give


To broken-hearted souls that need


Great courage to live.


It takes a single moment


To bestow an act of kindness,


Yet, what others say and do


Often becomes timeless.
