Apple
pie harvest is a great time of the
year
Scent of apples baking, children do
appear
“Please may I have a slice of pie
mama?”
Pies must cool children, and stop with
all the drama
Later after dinner we will all have
pie ala mode
Children do your homework; I’ll have
our clothes sewed
Keep your marks up, so you’ll pass to
the next grade
I know you like the goodies after you
have played
A glass of milk a cookie too, and
especially apple or pumpkin pie
We go through this every autumn, and
your friends come by
Lucky we have a pumpkin patch, and an
apple tree out back
Thank you children for picking the
apples and filling your sack
This year will be different, because
I’ll teach you how to bake
There will be chores given to all of
you, and leaves to rake
You are all old enough to learn a
thing or two, besides school
Then we’ll go to church as usual, and
live by God’s golden rule
Thank you children, the dishes; and
your home works all done
Now go and have some private time for
play, and have some fun
Don’t forget to take your bath, and
put your clothes away
Most important kneel down beside your
bed and pray
Mom and Dad will come up later and
tuck you in safe and sound
We thank our Lord for all of our
blessings we have abound
Now close your eyes, dream sweet
thoughts; tomorrow’s another day
The sun may shine, and if it rains
we’ll chase the clouds away
God Bless all of you, we love you, and
send butterfly kisses
Your angels watch, and protect you and
sing pretty choruses
Now watch the sparkling stars, you’ll
soon fall fast asleep
Our Lord watches over, and our souls
he’ll always keep

This is how we know that we love
the children of God;
by loving God,
and carrying out His commands.
