Autumns Relent
As Autumn relents
to the first Winter snow,
her golden leaf blankets
are peaked in their glow.
A season of color
that's nearing her end,
now passing the time
with her cold Winter friend.
The cool flowing waters
have frozen and stilled
and warm gentle breezes
have calmed with a chill.
Knowing her place
through the seasons of change
in the cycle of life
the Lord God would arrange.
Autumn grows weary
as slumber awaits
under golden leaf blankets
she rests in her fate.
Blessed is her sleep
as God tucks her away,
beckoned to wake
on a warm Summer Day.
Autumn is flattered
when friends call her Fall,
her season of thankfulness
calls to us all.
Like feathers we fall
into Gods saving grace,
humbling hearts
as we seek for His face.
With Autumns relent
to the first Winter snow
and golden leaf blankets
are peaked in their glow,
pray cold hardened hearts
find the warmth of Gods peace
as their lifetime of seasons
will all too soon cease.
