Sunday morning
Bears will win
The third of October is gone
The sun is shining
Leaves are glowing
From green to purple
Birds who leave are gone
Still, many birds remain
There is music
The beauty alone is a song
Lake Michigan has its beat
Pumpkins appear in large
Numbers in the neighborhoods
The smell of the season
Is in the air
We know the year is ending
It is a time for meditation
And thanksgiving
The world is in chaos, but
Still there is much to be
Thankful for as we know
We prepare for winter and
In the meantime, enjoy
God’s gift of beauty
We are lucky people in many ways
