A TIME TO REST


In Autumn I peer out the south window from my room
What do I see, pretty mums, many colors in bloom

Behind them are the sunflowers so yellow and bright
Feeding the birds before they journey on their flight

This is the time of year when summer is near its close
When all God's nature on earth is getting ready to doze.

The trees in their splendor are starting to change their color
Each leaf is turning from green; not one is like the other.

Red, orange, brown, yellow, rust, every color is so true
A beautiful site against the mountains and sky so blue

No artist on earth, in a painting, can match this splendor
For no one can paint a picture like this, but God's nature

All the baby birds have grown and flown their nest
God is getting ready for nature to take its peaceful rest

Up in the sky I see the flocks of birds flying away
To the south where there is a warmer, sunnier day

As the wind picks up and start getting bitter and cold
Remember to bundle up and onto your hat; do hold

Bears are filling their tummies with food; they are in hurry
In dens they to to sleep and bear their young without a worry

Before some of us know it, winter will be here upon us all
In northern places the snowflakes will begin to gracefully fall

God made winter for the earth to sleep and take a rest
Again in the spring, nature will come alive, looking her best

Don't be sad when you see the flowers gone and trees bare
God is doing his work so we can again enjoy them next year.
