Brilliant Days in NC

Our trip to North Carolina was glorious.   Time well spent with family and friends that are family.
The first and last stanza of this poem are my favorite.  Many thanks to the author our family knows and loves, but wishes to be unknown!


Today was a brilliant day in all ways

Leaves falling about,autumn is here no doubt

Family about

Of all ages and stages

Nothing could be better

The sun was out

The weather was warm

Crisp as we moved into the afternoon

The sounds of young voices

Living in their imaginary world

Laughter that is pure

A fairy tell wedding

Conducted by the Son of a Preacher man

Onion punch

Cornstalk joust

Marshmellows toasting

Fated to be pressed between chocolate and grahams

Young hands pushing firewood over the truck side

Around the pasture we all ride

Smoke in our eyes

As it follows the Beautiful ones

God was here

This beautiful world his mirror

Loved ones near
