Come November

The chill of November nips your nose as winter winds bring chills The Autumn leaves swirling to the ground and my world feels calmly still A promise of Thanksgiving invitations from family and friends Putting away the garden hose now freezing temperatures soon to begin Christmas decor already abundant Salvation Army bells ring through the air Putting a dollar in the pot receiving greetings of holiday cheer My house is cozy and stock for winter hoping nasty weather will pass us by Hearing the chorals singing of our Savior in a manger his lullaby Come November another year closing soon the hope of a new year arrives Let there be peace on earth my silent prayer we all will strive
