Six Word Fridays - Fall

For my post to the blog hop at Adrienne's Six Word Fridays - Fall I chose to write a poem with six words in each line.

We know that fall will come

Leaves don't fall with a thud,

They lightly settle on the ground

and wait for others to come

and be near them all around.

Seldom do elderly people lightly fall,

Sounds and cries of pain arise

to the ears of others nearby

not ready to say last goodbyes.

We know that fall will come,

and we must wait our turn

to see how we will exit

and how we will again return.

To Him who sent us here

and that hope helps us find

direction while going through the seasons

and comfort and peace of mind.
