I stand on the lawn
On this cold October afternoon
The sun is shining down on me,
White clouds scud overhead
In this windy day.
Then I look,
Look all around me and see the colours.
The greens are slowly turning yellow,
Yellow, orange and red.
They are so bright in the sun
I am pulled into the wonder,
The wonder and beauty of Autumn.
Every Autumn does this to me
As I revel in Nature’s Art at its finest.
I keep looking round and see the building,
The only build in sight,
The steeple of the church pointing,
Pointing up to the sky,
Passed the sky into the wonder of the Universe
And to the life that is out there.
So I stand here on the lawn
Amazed by life’s wonder that is within me
And thinking about that life
And how lucky I am to be here,
To be here and enjoy its glory,
The glory that is all around me,
And the glory that is always within me.
