Lammas' Bounty
Summer is now over and fall is very near.
Our first harvest is what we celebrate here.
We've gathered berries, corn, and grain.
And soon we'll have other vegetables to gain!
We give thanks to Mother Earth for giving us what we need.
She nourished what we planted from each and every seed.
The Sun also added his warmth in this to lend a hand.
So that our crops could grow strong - pests and elements to withstand.
In this ever changing world we seldom stop to think.
Just where our food comes from - or the stuff we have to drink!
Most products come prepackaged in a box or can.
Mother Earth was tilled and seeded first by some caring farmhand.
Take a few moments as you enjoy your harvest meal.
Reach out to those you love and show them how you feel!
Remember too that we really never need a reason.
To come together and celebrate each and every season!
