The Gift
Deep in the tall woods
where I am safe
When the sun comes up
I venture forth
Down from my high perch
Gather mana
Gift from Heaven high
Every day I'm served
sweet savory bites
Only in the fall
For one I eat
Save nine winter's store
Give thanks to God
He's been good to me
Nature's good plan
Gifts from Heaven high

ReplyDeleteJim, this line "For one I eat save nine winter's store" took me way back watching my grandparents store bounty from field and orchard for the long, cold, hard winters.
