November Layout

Bold trees proclaim November news;
Ma Nature frames impressive views. 
Autumn colors achieve their prime
while weather shifts to cooler clime.
Service of veterans we cheer;
election rules the atmosphere.

Voters each year are asked to choose; 
Winners glean payment for their dues.
Who can predict ahead of time?
No one can trace the paradigm. 
Candidates jeer while campaigns smear;
November comes and goes each year.

The month ends and events enthuse;
my hardened heart revives its muse
in praise for health and wealth sublime.
Thanks be to God as church bells chime;
grace and gratitude reappear.
With winter snows, can peace draw near?
