Notes About The Poem

Image result for On Front Porch

Wraps Its Cloak

Out on the porch as fall's coolness
Wraps its cloak around me
The sun's angular rising light
Reveals dust floating free

The potted Hibiscus' one blossom
Enjoys sun's soft light rays
Unbeknown that frosty air 
Will soon come into play

As the sun climbs higher adding 
Warmth to these old stiff joints
And the roosters begin crowing
Offering their encouraging point

There is a stillness and peace
That only God can give
A crow caws his warning to other
Crows cawing up the hill

Big dog came down to visit now
Lying in the sun's soft light
She scratches fleas? and licks with ease
Not disturbed with might or right

Thank You, God for one more morning
To visit nature and 
Enjoy the creation made by Jesus'
Loving and gentle hands
