Fall Season = Home Sweet Home = Story – Poem

I love this time of the year in Southern California. The air is fresh and clean. Many of our trees, and shrubs are turning beautiful colors. I do miss the East coast in the fall, but each state has it’s own beauty. I’ve lived in California long enough to appreciate the difference in the seasons. I love the summer, but I’m ready for the warm days, cool mornings, and cool nights of fall.

I was sitting in the garden the other day, thinking about all the reasons, the fall season is so special to me, and if I could be enjoying this season anywhere in the world, where would I go? and where would it be?  So I decided to write a poem.

Home Sweet Home= has everything I need.

I have a long list of what makes this time of the year so special to me. It’s the warm days, and the crisp cool nights. The clear blue skies, and the beautiful sunrises, and sunsets.Everything seems clean and new again. It brings me hope, and I feel God’s love within.

Home Sweet Home has everything I need.

While sitting in the garden sipping my tea, my feathered friends are singing a sweet  melody. It feels like their songs are just for me.

Home sweet Home has everything I need.

The flowers, shurbs and trees are stage-in a performance all of their own. They seem to be saying” look at me, last week I was green, see what I can do? I can change from orange, to red, but maybe this week I’ll be golden instead. See what I can do? and I’m doing it all for you.

Home Sweet Home has everything I need.

The kitchen this time of the year is where I like to be, cooking, and baking for my family. Anything made with apples, pumpkins, and spices. With lemon, cinnamon, vanilla, and icings. Home made soup feels good on the tummy, and homemade bread is always quite yummy.

Home Sweet Home has everything I need.

But it’s mostly the fond memories of past seasons spent with family, and friends that bring it all together with much love and contentment. I thank you Lord for everything that you have given me.

Home Sweet Home has everything I need.
