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
