October Joys

October comes, nostalgic thoughts in tow,
with new delights to form fresh memories
of breezy, peaceful sights and sounds that please.
Much more than I deserve, the blessings flow.

October brought my one sweet child to me.
a daughter, source of unique pride and joy.
She’s mom now of a precious girl and boy.
With family, I’m blessed as I can be.

From ground to treetops, colorful arrays
amaze me, make me loath to go inside!
The yards in town become a source of pride.
Bright pumpkins, mums, and hay make grand displays.

Fall moves my meditative side to write.
I use my pen to celebrate this life,
to thank the Lord there’s much more joy than strife.
October is a time of great delight.

What a beautiful poem! "Fall moves my meditative side to write. I use my pen to celebrate this life, to thank the Lord there’s much more joy than strife. October is a time of great delight." This, is so very precious <3
