Reflections of the Good Life by Betty LaBarge

Rain drops fall lightly on the bright colored leaves of fall
Sending much needed moisture to Mother Earth.
Water gathers on the hillside and rushes downward to feed the pond below.
Fish and frogs jump to catch the food surrendered by the hill,
Another season of life ends
And winter soon approaches.
Watching the water,
A soothing moment,
There is silence.
Then with a puff of wind
Ripples form,
Breaking the evening shadows and reflection.

The pond, a picture of life, reflects the fading sky.
The sun turns to darkness.
One wonders how many more seasons there will be.
What will our lives reflect on the earth?
Will storm clouds cause the waves of life to be stirred?

For now….

Blue skies, calm waters, beautiful reflections.
Praise God for all He gives.
