A Letter To October
Dear October.
In case you haven't heard, I must inform you that
It appears that a 'cloud of evil' has descended upon our world.
I must skip the small talk, because these are critical and trying times.
Spring brought us a deadly disease called COVID 19 and quarantines.
Summer brought us a reprieve from quarantines but massive civil unrest.
Summer also brought heat, winds, and fires that's sweeping the western states. The fires have continued into Fall, and the hurricane season has been atrocious. September has quickly come and gone, leaving thousands without house or home.
So, here we are, October, and I'm sorry to have to welcome you with such bad news. But my welcome comes with a hope and a prayer that God will use you to bring us relief.
O faithful October, it's rain we need and less hurricanes to free us from Summer's pains. And O dear October, as I think about it, it would be nice to hear the birds sing for a change.
Your Forever Friend.
