A Blessed Season

Sitting out in the back I felt the cold north wind blow in across the lake. Nearly a spiritual moment as my breath it did take. The summer had been long hard and hot. As I patted my wife on her hand as she lay on the cot. The firewood has been all chopped split and put in its place. Ready for another winter to snuggle and embrace. This is the time of year I look forward to so much. Like the feel of a warm blanket as winter sends us its touch. Like a warm cup of cocoa to soften the nights. Or to sit by the fireplace with its embers so bright. To reminisce of past days and the glory we find. Of loved ones that have past and their memories left behind. Life has been good as I drink from its cup. I’ve enjoyed it to the hilt since I was a pup. And as the snow gently falls and white glistens the earth. Remember before too long spring will return offering all a renewed birth. Always enjoy what you’ve got and give the blessings to God. Praise Him with honor and love as through this life we must trod.
