Farewell Summer— Welcome Fall

As the sun is full of light, the ocean full of water; heaven full of glory. So may my heart be full of thee.
A Puritan Prayer

 Farewell Summer—Welcome Fall
 By Elece Hollis

Beside a country road,
I found a letter from summer there
You can't miss it; it's everywhere
Sweet and mellow
Singing her goodbye
Nodding—swaying in the wind
 Yellow notes of a fading song
Composed on the fragile sunlight and air,
Notice she leaves us
A note  behind wishing
Farewell to another summer
Welcome fall.

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You, 
and my soul, which You have redeemed. 
Psalm 71:23

Sunflowers

Sunflowers, you face the sunlight
At sunset gently bow your heads
Reverent, you know where strength comes from.
You bloom where you are planted 
In a ditch or in a garden fair
You endure the heat.Yes, relish it!
Bring joy everywhere.
