Walking With My Brother

So Long Sweet Summer

*****************************

So long sweet summer

I’ll miss the warmth of your sun

as autumn cools the air

and I read by the south window

under a soft wool shawl

instead of out in my garden chair

~

So long sweet summer

I’ll wait patiently for your return

 when three seasons have passed

 and like a faithful lover  

 you bring me fresh flowers

because we’re reunited at last.

How can you tell that I love summer?

Thankfully there’s beauty in each season.

It’s true for the seasons of our lives too.

I’m choosing to live in today.

So often I’ve waited for something special to happen

 only to see the unexpected take its place.

There’s beauty in the unexpected 

if I trust that God is in it.

My prayer list has grown longer with time.
