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!
