I Try To Keep

I walked along the old railroad tracks
Surrounded by yellow hues all around
Birds chattered happily in the bushes
Lifting my spirit with their sound
The birch trees shined, even with gray sky
As I wondered where you are
My thoughts adrift a morning breeze
That came to me, from oh so far
Autumn is moving quickly now
Making way for winter’s return
I’m bracing for the cold to arrive
While trying to keep, each lesson I learn

Chris Green Date: 10/14/2019 7:29:00 AM Winter I am sure is quickly approaching in your area my friend. keep thinking positive things and maybe it won't feel so cold when it does arrive. :) Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 10/14/2019 8:07:00 AM Yes, it is starting to get colder and raw outside. Yesterday was a bit warmer. Today may be, when the sun gets shining more. I hope I can keep thinking those positive thoughts to battle the bitter cold on the way. Thank you. Have a great day Chris :)
