Trumpet Call

My heart is the same full of love My house that shelters it full of pain But it's autumn in my life, Dove The hair of gray and wrinkles reign I set the table full of food For the family to dine fun times But it is autumn in my life When changes prepare for winter I'm not sure I'll know winter now For I have not experienced it But it's autumn in my life somehow Where beauty glows bright from the depths Producing leaves of many hues Love the autumn of my life, Dove Now all that's left winter's white snow I think that when winter comes cold Plants freeze if left out in weather They will need a warmer place inside But since it is just autumn now There's time to prepare room somehow I still watch the birds from window They have not all gone away love But it's autumn in my life now Soon most will be gone for winter Winter soon will approach with cold Seemingly death of the roses But it's autumn in my life my bold There are few thoughts of approaching winter But when winter comes my way The body rest to rise another spring Now it's autumn in my life this day On another day I'll be called by trumpet away

Evening Sarah My favourite line would have to be Setting the table For the family to dine fun time Something I took for granted and now miss family time sitting down to dine a fun time. Please will you read pretty little girls its based on the same theme you might like it. Cheers

I like these kinds of poems about the autumn of our lives. I think the older we get, we enjoy writing them too! Nice one, and about astrology, I do not care about daily horoscopes or letting it rule my life, but I honestly believe it has some merit. It has helped me to understand people with different "attitudes" brought on by the elments in their chart! And yes, my church certainly does not encourage it, but maybe there IS something to it?? LUv, Andrea

People are always celebrating summer, but I've lived long enough to know that the autumn years can be the most fulfilling. Keep embracing the autumn, dear Sara, winter will arrive all too soon. Very nicely written! Love, Carolyn
