That First Autumn

the land burst forth
with all kind of manna;
fruit of red, purple, green, yellow
poured out in bounty

a spectrum of luscious color
glistened in the autumn sunlight;
an invitation promising succulent repast
lay as wondrous plenty

bulging hearts
smiling eyes
beheld the awesome sight
with ear-reaching grins

tables began to bend
beneath the weight
of such great reward
arms beckoned all to come, come

enjoy this sweet treasure
from the depths of great blessings
from His almighty love
and care

lift with us
a mighty prayer
of Thanksgiving

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

What a wonderfully, thankful piece of writing. So descriptive and rich in meaning.
It was a pleasure to read!

Thanks, EA.
