I sat with Despair
She held my hand and led me
Into sinking sand
Where I met disappointment
Doubt and disbelief
I watched my dreams fading
Near Disappearing
And then I felt a presence
A Hand lifting and leading
Me out to a better place
A land of hope and purpose
Where the Light shines
Upon dreams making them new
A firm foundation
Where no Disses can dwell
An encouraging
Place full of life where
I’m building a good future
Double Choka
A word
Spoken timely
Has power to create
A new life or renew a hope
Speak life
Restore
Life with words of encouragement
Use words as building blocks
See broken dreams

Fall’s entrance was dramatic!
She certainly let us know she had arrived!
Gusts of wind and drops of rain quite climatic,
Showed us Fall had been revived.
She continued most of the day,
Her rampant weather to bestow,
And then summer jumped Into the fray
With a beautiful sunny rainbow!
But summer had to leave at last,
For her days are now all done.
And Fall returned with a chilly blast,
As her reign officially begun.
