~ Autumn Friend ~
Aw, how friendly shall an Autumn be, what conjure up more fun divine
Than this cheeky little smile, reaching to the dearest friend of mine
What twinkle in that doughy eye, shall cheer your heart today
Gazing on his autumn glow, what would I wish to say
But, that you are so very special, in most every way
Just lovin' all your cutsey quirks and little giggles, the treasure of your self
Drawing out your saucy smile
I can see you smiling now, mmm...mm, I can tell.

~ Autumn Teddy ~
You need an Autumn teddy, just because I said
Though you may not take him very far, nor tuck him into bed
But, you may take of my heart, anywhere you go
For this teddy comes to say, you are so sweet to know
So when you close the page and bid autumn ted adieu
Do remember what this says,
I'll always care for you

If I were a bear, an autumn bear too,
I shouldn't much care, if it froze or snew;
I shouldn't much mind, if it snowed or friz -
I'd be all warm 'n' snuggly in a coat like his.

~ Cutest Li'l Scarecrow ~
You're the cutest li'l scarecrow, the best I ever had
You wave your friendly hand at me. I wave to you right back
You give me a li'l wink, grinning, I'll wink back to you today
You kick up your heels for fun... Yeehaa, I'll tap my feet from far away
If I was a li'l lonesome birdie then your shoulder I would find
For you never could be scary, not even if you tried
Your georgous smile just brings me close, to ever stay
With your arms spread wide in welcome
I'm drawn to your love today

You've been my pal all summer long, I 'spect through winter too
So, today it's pun'kin smiles
Ha, I saw ya grinnin' 'cause that's what pun'kin's do

~ Autumn Angel Blessings ~
There's a little autumn angel, whispering on the wind,
She's dancing in the falling leaves, a loving note to bring.
She's a-whirling and a-twirling, with a cheeky grin,
Such a tickle of a giggle, wondering how you've been.
Wish we couild have a visit, share heavenly love today,
But, seeing as you're far away, Autumn angel comes to say.
Been thinking of you lately, always on my heart,
Wanting to say I miss you, sorry we're apart.
Little autumn angel blows kisses, if you're quick,
One will land smmmack...in the middle of your cheek.

I would like to send you autumn leaves, or twinkles of a star;
Or a tiny piece of downy fleece, that clings to cloud afar.
I would like to send you dewdrops, soft at break of day;
And then, at night, God's sparkly light, that mantles Milky Way.
But these are just wild dreams, so I'll send you love my friend;
I'll clasp your hand, you'll understand, the things I left unsaid.

~ Your Autumn Charm ~
I have found the treasure I thought I'd never know
I searched both high and low, wandering through the maze of life
Trying every road.....But then I saw a little house... Could this be the cottage full of love
I stopped and gazed upon it's wonder.
Would this really be the one
The pathway lined with aspen gold, a welcome wreathe hung with love
The corn dolly graced with checkered bow, calling me to share a hug
Oh, the autumn charm of sheer delight.
How shyly shall I walk up that golden pathway, drawing in for the welcome I have sought
I imagine your sweet warming smile, your greeting at the door
Gently reaching for me, then to softly say
I've been waiting for y'all.

Thank You Friend! I never came to you, my friend, and went away without some
new enrichment of the heart; More faith and less of doubt, more courage in the days
ahead. And often in great need coming to you, I went away comforted indeed. How can I
find the shining word, the glowing phrase that tells all that your love has meant to me, all that
your friendship spells? There is no word, no phrase for the companionship of you. All I can
say to you is this, God bless you precious friend.

~ My Secret Autumn Delight ~
There's a tiny autumn secret tucked within my heart
I hide inside to never fall like a leaf upon the path
Snug in among the sweetest blooms, of treasures I hold dear
Soft tenderness of you I keep so very very near
And when I want to chat, I whisper tenderly
I know you're there cute little pumpkin, deep inside of me

For flowers that bloom about my feet; For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee; For a friend so far I cannot see,
Father in heaven, I thank Thee!

~ Itchin' For Some Autumn Lovin' ~
My arms are itchin' with some lovin'
I just need to raise them up
Cause my heart's all ready primed, for the giving of a hug
I've got my tata hat, my special autumn togs
So here I come, look out- I'll just get my feet unlocked
For the days are growing mellow, my smile's a twitchin' in the crispy air
The night's a trifle chilly, but who cares when there's only loveliness to share
Of all we love of autumn, the wonder, rich and warm
Bursting everywhere with vibrant colour that we've so been waiting for
Oh, my heart's aglow with such delight.. I must share it with my friend
How very glad I am about all an autumn season sends

~ My Autumn Thoughts ~
As I gaze upon the garden All I see is golden hue Oh...such a gorgeous autumn morn it is... I want to sit here in the rays of dawn and gently think of you Imagine if we chose an apple of the very brightest red And wandered down the lane just to see what is ahead And then, on our return to sit here with this kitty cat Rest a while upon the comfy seat, be still and sofly chat... Sigh....as always, you'll leave your pretty hat...

~ Oh I Miss You So
Oh, this mystery how I miss you so As night's glow gently dims I see you walk away, yet near Soft whispers in my need I miss you, hear you, wish you Weren't so very far away You are the me and I, the you I miss the words you say I miss you in my heartbeat In my mind, my being rests Upon the who you are To give me heaven's caress I miss you, yes I miss you more than life itself Soft whispers from Derry's Heart Poems © 2007 [email protected] Someday we will never have to say "goodbye" That is so beautiful.

~ When Love Can't Be Missed~
The wind is still, I hear my mind.. I miss you in each falling leaf
I watch them twirl, then spin at will
I miss you.. when I look upon horizon's hill
My thoughts alone I gather.. yet
Fragmented muse,
I shall not fret, but miss you, with each rising breath
My heart's askew, what shall I do... But miss you lest
Together, we shall truly be, just as 'twas always meant
For, only when love can't be missed
Shall aching hearts be truly spent
And there alone, may rest, content.

~ As Evening Falls ~
As light fades and sunshine streams so far away
Shadows drift in, then fall to stay
I thank God for all the beauty He gave me, to enjoy this lovely day
I thought of you, my special friend and all the goodness that you send
And I thanked Him for our friendship, that I know will never end
I pondered on the autumn beauty, now ablaze within my view
All the dazzling radiant colour.. Oh, just everywhere I look
And I thought, how so very amazing, all the seasons our God has made
Reflecting all His glory, in the wonder of each day
Then, as I sit and talk with Jesus and gaze into the evening sky
I send a prayer for you my friend
That you will have such a wonderful day, as I.

Off and on, throughout the day
You wander near, so close to me,
I feel as if you're here anyway as I imagine much
that you would say and things you'd like to see.
So, even though you are far away, in another world apart,
God has you right here, talking listening, participating in my life, just as if you are...
And then at the close of day
I have accumulated from the start so much,
I just have to share, for all along I know you care as we walk here, heart in heart

Upon An Autumn Lane
We keep in step, yes, you and I, just step by step, not asking why
nor in the need of great reply
Close side by side in walk sublime...to gladly look for all we find.
Together only is to go, no dire need to e'er arrive, and if we rest, to cry,
oh my, with little set, to say or do,
For a leafy lane, a pretty view... are joys enough, for me and you
As in the leaves we'd skip all day until we'd had enough of play
and if one nice might pass us by, we'd still be there, leaves in our hair..
for there our hearts would always stay

You and I love to go on little Autumn walks along our own pathway
A pretty little forest trail that we revel in each day
We warm each other's lives as we wander on our path
Inspired by every thought we share from heart to heart
And when we have to separate, although we never part
All that we have enjoyed gives us more we can impart
God gave us to each other to know a special care
You fill my heart with heaven's love by all you have to share

side by side and I love this path for we will be together always in our emails and in our hearts,

~ November Woodlands ~
Out there, beyond the garden gate , there's the wildest world to see,
Say..let's forget the chores today and run, just you and me.
Before the leaves all drop, we must go scamper to explore
For the little creatures are about, collecting for their store.
The forest floor is, oh so crunchy, that nip is in the air,
Wild geese are honking their goodbyes, we might even spot a grizzly bear.
Only now, we'll hear the gurgling stream and feel the sandy ground,
Let's gather pine-cones, leaves and moss to make a wreath from all we've found.
I'm sure we'll find an apple tree growing wild within the thicket,
The last of the prickly berries too.. Oh, c'mon, c'mon, or we'll miss it
God's unlocked the doors of His exhibit.

I came quite close to visit, this lovely autumn day,
To see just how you're doing, a little message to convey..
I didn't stay back in the shadows, but came right to the fore,
To open wide your gate latch, and knock upon your door.
For a closer look into your life, to read if you're alright,
By mind's eye to perceive , what is your present plight.
And God would tell me, love, just love my friend this day,
So, here I come with prayers, to warm your heart always.
With a kind and precious autumn, of gifts from His own hand,
May your heart be very blessed, with all our Father's planned.

We all require beauty- a place for the heart to rest and be made whole,
where God may heal and give strength to spirit and to soul.

~ Autumn Picnic ~
Before the winter comes let's pack ourselves a sweet picnic,
Go find a brook by shady glen, whatever day, just make it quick :)
I'll bake a strawberry shortcake, you bring the salad rolls,
We'll stretch out in the autumn sunshine
nibble cranberries from a bowl.
We'll fill a flask for tea, many cups to hold,
Sip and read and talk a lot, then take a casual stroll.
Don't forget your pretty parasol to shade us from the sun,
Or wind, if it might blow and steal our happy fun.
Bring cushions soft, there 'pon to lean or rest our weary head,
Oh, I'm so impatient for this picnic
With my very special friend.

Give us mountains, lakes and streams, great works of God to fill our dreams;
Grass of green, sky of blue, the shining sun... there let us dwell til life is done.
And, someday, when life's book shall close,
We'll be content with what we chose.
