I see positive in my circumstances
under no roof or no security
shelves packed with uncertainties and cranses
to uplift my soul from any puredee
I begin a long list from Able Street
and better to be successful failure
to monitor tasks, adding slices of beet
than living inside that golden chamber
Temperatures have plummeted for November,
And I am monitoring my thermostat setting
Snow is expected, normally, not until December,
Temperatures have plummeted for November
My fireplace is a-glow with hot ash and ember
I suspect sleet and snow we’ll soon be getting
Temperatures have plummeted for November
And I am monitoring my thermostat setting.

in prayer updates is where my soul basks.
God’s grace at work I wondrously behold
as answers to supplications are told.
The Lord constantly supplies every need
with redemption and revival indeed.

along fast recovery midst faith poise.
Family concerns seeking radiant hope
are secured with wisdom so as to cope.
Timely provisions show Saviour knows best
granting perfectly each urgent request.
Aware of these truths, list I check with zeal
including those “safe pregnancy” appeal.
There are names under special plea section
asking help for divine intervention.
Bound for prayer gratitude and praise time
I received note of testimonial chime.
“Thanks*; good news… please have my name deleted
my boy's now five months old; I’m delighted.”
*Colossians 1:3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.

We'll enjoy such treats as best we can, but still, I fear. The summer is still a season-long even though Fall draws near.
But if summer should end with less 100-degree mercuries, I shall Never a tear, and may we not forget that these toasty western skies
Will never relinquish their claim to fame, and about the sunny blue Canopy's proneness to creating changes, let's be very clear.
