Living Treasures
  
 I have sunlight on my shoulders with bright blue skies ahead
 And bluebirds sang a song to me while I was still in bed.
 There's a hint of spice and cinnamon brought by the morning breeze
 And there's a touch of red and gold appearing in the trees. 
  
 Days are growing shorter now and nights can bring a chill
 The squirrels are hiding acorns in the woods beside the mill. 
 Mom's making apple cider and filling mason jars
 September nights have been so clear you can see a million stars! 
  
 It's harvest time upon the earth, a time for giving thanks
 For these, the living treasures, we never find in banks.
 God showers us with blessings sometimes great, sometimes small
 And for these, the living treasures, we praise Him for them all!
