The last leaves of fall rained down today Blown by the wind as the sun did play With shadows that moved on the street Where my steps maneuvered, pictures did meet On pavement, while created in my mind With words only the fresh air can find In the rain of leaves nature did make Wisdom fell in the air, I graciously take Give me endurance to go up this hill Help me to do my best with my own will Amidst sunshine and shadows beneath my feet Let there be growth and acceptance of defeat Heidi Sands 11/9/17

This write has a grand reference towards life itself, in many ways, into our own lives, striking and wondrously true! I surely loved reading you amazing poem here this morning, you have written such a juxtaposition within this poem that I was in awe of its incredibly powerful message! Such a great piece my friend! Awesome Work!!
