Give thanks to him who made the heavenly lights— His faithful love endures forever. — Psalm 136:7
I see the noon sun
through a favorite tree,
this bur oak that is letting
loose leaves and acorns,
returning humus
to the earth, a cycle
of renewal which requires
rest, and these changing
leaves and thinning trees
remind me all living things
must endure change,
and even in the most
trying of circumstances
I pause and find peace
in the essential truth
of living: we rise and meet
the day and every challenge
because we are loved,
and we have thanks to give.
