The Sun is Shining...in this Beautiful City!

 

fast and furious the frost came in

before it was really time,

I went into my yard,

it certainly did not like mine,

my Virginia Creepers

usually turn a beautiful bright red,

I stopped fast in my tracks

amazed at what I saw,

all the leaves were wrinkled, black and dead.

Oh no was the first thought that entered my mind,

and then I noticed a few gifts the frost had left behind,

there stood a single buttercup

as proud as could be,

it was like a gift that was left behind

especially for me,

I could not help but smile,

as one lone flower remained,

I think it was a reminder

that in Spring

the flowers will come again.

The last two days the sun came out

after nearly 3 weeks of hiding behind the clouds,

I was able to venture out again,

I sat at my bright yellow table,

with my journal and my pen,

The freshness of the beautiful fall day,

a bowl of hot chili and a bun,

my dog laying at my feet,

leaves from the trees falling like snowflakes

slowly to the ground,

nothing was heard but BlueJays in the distance,

their brilliant blue soaring in the sky.

I gave one last thought to summer,

and was excited for the days ahead,

that is why this morning

I awoke at five,

Soon I am off for my morning walk,

It is great to be alive.

the sun is slowly rising,

wishing good morning to me,

I smile what a wonderful day.

With the right attitude

it could be

My Best Day Ever!

.......

have a wonderful day
