I made my prediction A long beautiful fall Today brings doubt Raking leaves in a snowfall Washing outside windows While the rain came down The sky and the lake Are the same color of gray Difficult to see the horizon It is better than shoveling While the leaves are still Colorfully hanging on the trees The cold and damp chill the bones Being on the ladder is shaky Now the work is over and I take time to warm up This is the way of life What we thought we had Under control, rears its head What seemed normal turns awkward But sometimes that is not all bad We take many th00ings for granted Failing to consid0er others difficulties We act as if the whole world Was at peace and functioning Properly then trip over a person Making the sidewalk his home A long beautiful fall Gives us time to act on The problems before us0 This is not always easy People get in each other’s way We have to work together The work is not easy and Often it is frustrating, but We must not stop, otherwise Life will have little true meaning We have to give to others This is a gift similar to the sky Opening up and letting the sun Give us a comforting soft pink on The unpredictable steel gray clouds Stanski November 16, 2021 ^
