Prayer for Autumn

New term, holidays over,
school just beginning,
cold clear days, orange leaves,
turning on heating,
ordinary time, don't mention Christmas.
Darker evenings, fog and rain,
toffee apples, new beginnings.
As days get shorter and the nights get colder,
Lord, hold us close in your hand,
and give us the hope of new life in your Son.
AMEN
