An Inspirational Autumn Poem

A Leaf of Threes

A sugar maple leaf I see,
Fallen from a sturdy tree.

Three points around a single stem,
Three veins that reach up to the ends.

Three colors come together and blend,
Gold and orange and brown on the edge.

A message from this leaf of threes,
Of faith and hope and love for thee.

Faith on the left and hope on the right,
Love in the center with the greatest height.

This leaf of threes drifted from above,
As gently and peacefully as a white winged dove.

In my Good Book I will press it in trust,
That it will not wither and die and turn to dust.

And when upon this sugar maple leaf I glance,
I feel the power of the Holy Trinity and not by chance.

A Thanksgiving Poem

The first day of fall is almost here. It is already cool in the Pocono Mountains. The abundance of falling acorns makes me think it is already fall and of course of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.

I couldn't help but write an inspirational poem for Christians to share on this Thanksgiving Day.

My family gathers together,
Every Thanksgiving day.
Grandmas and grandpas,
Moms and dads,
Aunts and uncles,
And all of us kids.

We hug and kiss and reminisce.
We tell stories new and stories old.
Good times and bad times come to mind.
We smile, we laugh and sometimes shed a tear,
As our family grows together,
Year by year.

It takes a few tables
Spread from room to room,
For all of my family
To share a meal.
One big circle of love we create
As we join our hands, little and big.

We thank the Lord for all we have.
We ask His guidance in all we do.
Deep in my heart I know,
This family of mine is quite divine.
God Bless Our Family
Every day.

The Greatest Valentine Gift Poem

God gave us minds to choose to love,
He gave us hearts to feel love,
He gave us eyes to see the things we love,
He gave us ears to hear the ones we love,
He gave us others to share love.

God gave us many Valentine gifts,
Valentine gifts for us to enjoy,
But the greatest Valentine gift of all,
Was the gift of Jesus Christ His son,
So that we could receive His amazing love.
