September Rewards
Is there anything more splendid than a garden in the fall,
When your work has brought in treasure and it’s time to reap it all?
There are bounties beyond endless, all you need and so much more.
It is offered with such largesse; some to eat and much to store.
The old pear tree is so loaded, it will be hard to pick it all.
Is there anything so lovely as a pear tree in the fall?
Oh a garden in the springtime is a place of hope and cheer.
It’s perfection in September when the harvest time is here.
I remember Daddy bringing all the produce, with a grin,
And my mama bravely canning the profusion he brought in.
The cellar is overloaded and the bright jars line the wall.
Nothing is so satisfying as the harvest in the fall.
