Notes About The Poem

I wrote this on Thanksgiving Day!

Watching Raindrops Drop

It's a beautiful day
For waving leaves to fall
A day for watching 
Raindrops drop

It's a beautiful day
For apples to blush red
A day for plumping 
Pumpkins, large and  orange

It's a beautiful day
For tracking gray squirrels 
A day for bushy tails
And mouths carrying omens

It's a beautiful day 
For lifting thanks
A day for sensing love's
Quiet mantle settle
