And photos of her October roses
I set out for a walk in the garden
To catch a glimpse
Of the last blooms of the year
The grass was long and in need of cutting
And for the most part
The the flowers looked tired
and dried after a long summer
Of colorful splendor
But as I rounded the corner
To my delight
There,
Among the aged leaves
A burst of color
Autumns blooms
Of lavender
Red, yellow, pink and orange
The leaves weren't pretty
They've been nipped by early frost
But the flowers were jubilant
Summers last hurrah
Today I Pray...
...that like these late summer flowers
I don't surrender
to the chilly moments of life
And instead keep striving
To bloom
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
