WORRIED IN THOUGHT

This day
Sunny and bright
Cool breeze
Gives hint of autumn
I sit and
Think about 
Those close to me
Having trouble in their lives
In one form or another

Nothing in the air
Speaks of rain or gray weather
Nothing we remember today
Speaks of how
We must reach out 
To take the hand of Him
The One Who will lead us 
On the path where we belong

When that thought comes to us
We will find peace and contentment
Our fear of the very worst
Keeps away the simple solutions
To our complexity

Pumpkins ready for harvest
Sweet corn is saying goodbye
Tomatoes by the bushel ready for canning 
The hand of God is everywhere
We, sorting our things out 
Seem to forget Him at the most critical time
When will we learn?
Will He ever be whom we seek first?
The day proceeds
We grow slowly
Still loved by Him
