TURNING TO GOLD Leaves of green turning to gold; the air outside so crisp and bold; welcoming the first day of fall. Signs of Autumn seen ev’rywhere; Mother Nature’s glory to share; Hearing leaves rustle, Autumn’s call. Fall is here, I’m happy to say; summer’s heat has left us today. Happy […]
Create a MySpace Playlist at MixPod.com ON THE BRINK OF AUTUMN DAYS Red-tailed hawk of summer’s end circling the sun as autumn begins, days growing short, lengthening shadows of late afternoon as, leaving summer behind, I look forward to apples and pumpkins and leaves of crimson and gold and orange and to the cooler days […]

UPON GOLDEN WINGS Upon wings of golden freedoms proudly proclaimed, as once again I’m reminded in such a powerful way that those freedoms I so often take for granted and enjoy are mine only and because so many others have paid the price.
