An Autumn Prayer
by Mary Ellen Smith
Lord, send to us an Autumn Angel
With sunflower bundles burnished bright,
That we may hearken to the changing
Of your welcome autumn light.
An angel Lord to ripe the pumpkins
Whereon the vine they wind their way,
One to paint your trees in splendor
In the dwindling light of day.
And may she speak a word of wisdom
To all who have the heart to hear,
For it’s the heart that does the listening
When the fall is drawing near. 10/27/2007 Posted on 10/27/2007
