Fell to the ground
Leaving a thick, yellow, autumn blanket
across the yard
The garden,
once lush with green foliage
And blooms of every color
Looked tired and aged
But suddenly a surprise
...there amidst the dried up leaves
And barren branches
One vibrant bloom
And the promise of another
...a lesson in hope and perseverance.
Life is yours to live...
...make the most of every day
...reach a little further
...try a little harder
Bloom against all odds.
Today I Pray...
...with gratitude
for the quiet ways
You speak to me
...and teach me to live

Lauren, thank you for the encouraging words on my post....I just love fall don't you...The bloom is clinging to life and hope. Lori
It is so ironic that you visit my blog and we are both blogging about gratitude. Thank you for visiting my blog. Right after I posted my blog on gratitude letters I come here and find gratitude as well.
I hope you have an amazing day.
