The Joy of Autumn
Linda Parks Owens 1952 (Rockingham, NC) – 2012 (Rockingham, NC)
Autumn, you filled our lives with the richness of the season.
Our precious child we loved you beyond measure or reason.
Our hearts were filled with joy at the blessing that was you
God's bountiful harvest given to our love so sweet and true.
We miss you so badly that our hearts ache with such pain.
When God's children go home we will see you once again.
Like winter follows fall and then surely comes the spring,
Summer will go by and we'll see the joy that Autumn brings
