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.

Pink Begonia

Though small, you sing

In bright splashes of sound.

You carry melodies that birds 

Have sung in passing.

You hold golden notes 

Of sunlight in your centers

Trill soprano/alto harmonies.
