When the cold wind rattles,
The doors in their frames
And the children tremble,
It's then I get to thinking
There's something hidden
Inside, where my weariness hides

I know little of life's pages,
Nor can I know where hell ends
Or even where heaven begins

But I do know the heartache,
That comes in the darkest hour
When a boundless wind shatters
The last vestige of falling leaves
That now lie dormant and hidden,
In the snowy bosom of the earth

While the grass waits patiently,
To burst back into the dawn,
And claim an everlasting victory
In the hour of its fragile birth

(big hugggssssss) Oh Cheryl, this sent a shiver up my spine reading it because I always felt this shiver as a boy when the trees grew bare of leaves and the wind was cold and it made me feel depressed. (sigh) I know this feeling too and hope now many children find comfort in the seaosn, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Cheryl, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

"Perfume Of Autumn".....Cheryl, your title caught my eye. Autumn is my favorite season...not too cold, not too warm. I like the way that you made me feel your words. Your writings are very well done and I look forward to reading more of them. Thanks for sharing with us.

Love,
Ethel...garysgirl
