An autumn talk

Leaves ran across my path. Swirling
   fast and slow. The cool, crisp autumn
breeze awakens my senses to be aware
   of my positive steps forward.

  Ah I thank you Jehovah for my
brush of nature. The beauty you set
before me. The happiness it stirs deep
     inside my spirit.

  I prayed today will be one new step.
To learn all that you have opened me to.

Do not want to hold back from seeing
  the variety of colors that amaze me.

   Walking. Closing my eyes to all
the hatred. I feel your loving, wise words
  lifting me where I needed them.

   Every day I realize, yes, I will hurt
but I can call upon you to show me patience,
             support.

   The good I want and need, you allowed
                  me to find.

          Thank you dear Jehovah.
