When I Sat and Watched

I sat and watched the Weeping Willow as her branches caressed the river below I sat and watched as summer turned to autumn changing my world into reds and golds I sat and watched as people strolled by and birds sang above me in bare branches I sat and watched nature in all her glory, transfixed as wildlife began their long winters sleep I sat and prayed that God had spared me and gave me time to appreciate all that I have and all that is.
