Autumn

Father-God, we lift our praise to You!
Creator of all the seasons, Giver of each moment,
          what a glorious day this is with which You are blessing us!
The crisp, clean air surrounding us, the dome of perfect, azure sky over us,
         who cannot see Your hand within it all?
You paint each leaf with colours no pigment we can create can match!
Your morning dew touches each blade of grass with diamonds beyond compare!
O Lord, help me not to race past such beauty unseeing.
Open my eyes to the wonder,
        Open my nose to each aroma,
                Open my lips to praise You forever for the autumn
And each season of my life,
                                               Forever!  Amen!
