Repost: Thanks Given

Copyright 2012 by Diane’s Mom, June

Snapdragons still bloom
wintery chills loom
pumpkins for taking
pies in the making
sunshine falls brightly
forgotten nightly
shadows stretch designs
all nature resigns
arresting in growth
a mutual oath
leaves fallen in faith
barrenness awaits
beyond the ending
hope is transcending.

Thanks are now given
 for earth and heaven.

Note: The painting was done by my mom, June, on a  ceramic tile and is part of our autumn decorations.

Happy Thanksgiving to my US friends and Blessings to all!
And as a special thank you, my new holiday short story,
 The Snow White Gift
is available on Kindle for FREE download
this Friday, November 29th!
