Autumn Prayer Poems
Table of Contents
Harvest of Gratitude
Golden fields, a peaceful glow,
Crisp leaves tumble, soft and slow.
Hands that gather, hearts that share,
Bounty given with a prayer.
Apple’s blush, the pumpkin’s weight,
Laden baskets by the gate.
Autumn’s gifts, a table spread,
Nourishment for soul and bread.
Cider warm, and fire’s light,
Stars above the velvet night.
Silent thanks in every breath,
Grateful for what the earth bequeaths.
Blessings counted, harvest done,
Smiles beneath the fading sun.
Grateful hearts in autumn’s cheer,
Whispering thanks for all held dear.

First Frost Faith
Frosted fields, a silver thread,
Autumn’s breath on roses red.
Cold that stings the morning air,
Faith that holds through quiet prayer.
Leaves that fall, a brittle sound,
Wind that stirs the weary ground.
Hands that warm by fireside glow,
Strength to face what soon may grow.
Winter waits with icy gaze,
Days grow short, and shadows haze.
Yet, within, a fire alight,
Guiding through the longest night.
As the frost begins to bite,
Hearts hold firm with steady might.
Through the cold, and through the gray,
Faith endures to greet the day.

Crimson Faith
Maples blaze, a scarlet sea,
Leaves that burn so brilliantly,
Passion stirs within the tree.
Autumn’s fire, a fierce light,
Reds that dance before the night,
Courage grows, a steady might.
Through the dusk, the colors bleed,
Fuel for hearts that truly need,
Faith that roots a lasting seed.
As the sun sets, embers glow,
In the crimson, strength will show,
Guiding us through winds that blow.

Woodland Walks and Worries
Through paths where the leaves softly lay,
Worries drift with each foot’s sway.
Golden hues all around,
Silent peace can be found,
In the woods where the troubles decay.
Rustling leaves underfoot bring calm,
Hands are warmed by the sunlight’s balm.
Nature's gentle embrace,
Slows the hurried pace,
Filling hearts with a quiet psalm.
Autumn winds through the branches hum,
As thoughts of the day softly come.
Though the mind starts to race,
Woods restore gentle grace,
Till the worries are left feeling numb.
Each step in the woodland's deep care,
Releases the burdens we bear.
Faith grows strong as we tread,
With soft prayers in our head,
Finding solace in nature’s pure air.

Fields of Faith
Golden fields stretch far and wide,
Harvest time, with grateful pride.
Each stalk bends and sways,
Through these autumn days,
Faith grows strong as hands are tied.
Sunlight kisses the earth so warm,
Crops stand tall, a thriving swarm.
In the labor and sweat,
Blessings we won’t forget,
As the fields yield without harm.
Every grain tells a tale of grace,
Patient hands have found their place.
With each bushel and load,
Gratitude is sowed,
As the harvest fills every space.
As the sun sets on fields so grand,
Harvest blessings fill the land.
With the work almost done,
We thank every one,
For the gifts that the earth has planned.
