The Turning of the Leaves

Like the turning colors of the leaves
I accept my seasons;
Knowing G-d gave me Joy, challenges
All for His perfect reasons.

And just like the sun will shine
It must surely set;
Rainbows in the sky
Help me not to forget

That storms will often rise
But if I place my faith in Thee;
My seasons, the sun's shining and setting
It's all part of his harmony.

So I embrace my Joy with gladness
And know tears are not in vain;
Like the turning colors of the leaves
It's all done in His name.
