Gifts of Splendor

Watch wondrous wafting, lilting leaves,
windy weather with balmy breeze
pull the heart full circle render
as October gifts its splendor.

Larders filled with field corn and peas,
meat, fish, and fowl hanging tender.
Apples offer toothsomeness tease,
as October gifts its splendor.

Breathe crisp October’s heady air,
savor the smells that engender.
Souls swell with mutual welfare,
as October gifts its splendor.

Our hearts beat with deep gratitude;
our eyes lift in sweet surrender.
Thank sweet Lord our day full conclude
as October gifts its splendor.
