Fall Beauty

Fall leaves and acorns

Image via Wikipedia

Creation is all aglow with color.
Flowers–orange, red, yellow, purple—
Adorning homes, churches, yards.
Cooler temperatures–relieving from hot summer days
Squirrels scurrying about gathering acorns
People of Faith preparing for big feast days—
St. Therese of the Child Jesus, Guardian Angels, St. Francis Day, Thanksgiving,
Changing season brings a transition to body, mind and spirit.
New Beauty raises our hearts to the Divine Artist.
With gratitude, we praise our God for His great love for us.

  1. Sister LaDonna,
    These poems are absolutely beautiful! I am bookmarking this website in my “favorites” so that I do not lose it this time! Keep up the wonderful work. I cannot wait to see more.
    Love,
    Gloria

    • Thanks Gloria, They are “gifts” that God gives me. I am grateful to Him. I know they are given to share.
      My prayers are daily with you and your family. Keep trusting the Lord for the twins you are expecting.
      Love,
      Sr. La Donna

  2. Sister LaDonna;
    You are still in my thoughts and prayers. I happened upon your poetry and wanted to tell you that I am so impressed with the beautiful words that flow from God through you. Write me an email when you have some time, lots has changed for me and my family. Not to worry, we are all well and happy. God has laid a new path before me and I am learning to walk on this new bumpy road with more surefooted steps. Wishing you well and with fond memories of our time together in Colorado. Blessings and love, Andrea Mauriello (Canon City, CO).

    • What a great joy, hearing from you. I often think of you too. The phone # I have from you is not correct. Can you give me your #? I only realized your E-mail address was listed, so I am now replying.
      Please call me or E-mail, and we can get caught up after all these years. I just wrote a nice note and forgot to save it, so guess what I lost it and had to start all over.
      I am living at the Motherhouse and working part-time in the Community’s Wholestic Resource Center (library).

    • Dear Andrea.
      This is my third try. The other two must not have reached you, so I am trying to get back to you. I was thrilled to hear from you after all these years. I, too have thought of you at different times, but didn’t know how to touch base with you. A lot has happened to me, also. It would be great to talk with you. Please send me your Telephone #.
