Today was the perfect day The sun dotted a blueberry sky Like a big yellow gumdrop Fluffy marshmallow clouds lay softly A slight chill hung in the Autumn air A perfect time for a soul stroll Half dressed trees beckoned to me Drawing my feet to the familiar paths That I have been treading since childhood A soft solace encompassed me as I Breathed in the beauty of nature's charms Crimson leaves dipped in gilded gold Dillydallied playfully in the breeze As my thoughts took flight to yesteryear Spanning across memories of love and loss Journeys through life that time can't erase I reflect upon this season of Thanksgiving The years of love, laughter, family and friends My plate has been overly full with blessings My heart remembers the cherished moments I hold them close bathing my spirit in renewal As I walk this path of melancholy this year I pause to think of all I am thankful for All the precious people, places and things That define me and color my world beautiful My heart is brushed happy and I find myself smiling In that fixed moment of revelation Heart and soul bared to mother nature's bosom Standing in the chill of Autumns arms A brush of warm air softly kisses my forehead Just like Mama used to do each and every night ~ I Count My Blessings ~ © Poet In Pink |

Hi pinky gal..i just returned from a visit to Maine where my family lives. It has always been my "vacationland" my mother turned 90 this trip and we had quite the birthday party. It was such meaningful quality time with my 3 sisters as well..we all have a story and personal journeys of lives well lived. Your poem speaks to me loud and clear. The carpet of leaves and the sun shining brilliantly on the bay...always hard to come home you know. Thank you for your poem this morning..its a sweet reminder of happy times and a blessing in itself |
