Eleven Octobers
Precious is October as it bestows
An eternal promise that deeply grows,
Relishing each hour with kindness and grace
Warmed by caresses of a sweet embrace.
Whenever moon pales, night’s laughter is found
Erasing fear when trials come around—
Your open arms, in rain, I lean on to
Like a harbor safe till dawn blossoms anew.
And by kindling one dream, all thoughts...we dare
Travel life’s road with a godly prayer
Draped by love, each fiber, a weave that lays
Upon October more joyful these days:
Eleven years, you still reign in my soul
A wonder rare... a blessing I extol!
