The Wonder Of Fall ~
We look around this time of
year
And see God's creatures
running near
To gather in the precious
grain
So winter food will still
remain
Throughout the cold and
snowy days
When it's so cold, no time
to play
Those little ones are wise
and ready
To make their lives all warm
and steady!
They seem to be more alert
than man
By gathering goodies while
they can
Never wasting any, not using
all at once,
So all winter there'll be
plenty
I often wonder how they
remember
Where it's stored from
beginning of September?
'Cause while I watch them
gather much
They always hide it in a
different bunch
They run to east and then to
the west
Finding a place to store it
best
Then spring breaks out and
you can see,
Them come right back and
there retrieve
One store is in a secret
hole, cut so precise
In just the earth that's dry
and nice
Then comes one, from out a
tree
The face of a squirrel you
barely see
I'm fascinated so by all of
this,
Waiting and watching til
they're all done
Not missing any little crumb
Remembering where they're
coming from?
