I Am Autumn (An Original Poem by Karla)
Posted by Karla at 9:15am Tuesday, October 14, 2008
I am Autumn.
I am brisk, cool mornings, pleasant days and chilly nights.
I am scented with the smells of wood and leaves, pumpkins and spice, soup and cornbread.
I am clothed in warm colors and the mist of early morning fog is my veil.
I am a beacon, a symbol, a sign that nature’s winter respite is near.
I am calm; telling everyone to slow down, huddle in close together, and enjoy the beauty of nature.
I am football and turkey and families gathering to give thanks.
I am awe-inspiring and beautiful.
I am but one sign of God’s handiwork.
I am Autumn.
**This morning as I drove to work and saw the edges of leaves turning yellow and saw the mist hanging over one of the tall buildings near work, I was reminded at how much I love Autumn. Actually, Autumn is our family’s favorite season. It is the season that brings memories of romance for Brad and I. It causes Sarah to get much too giddy at the idea of sweaters and soup and football and all things comforting and warm.

Beautiful Karla. It must be something about the name Sarah, as it makes me feel the same.
