Sometimes during the Fall, you fall in love….especially in Portland when the Doug Firs are involved…
Early sunshine news brings me the sweetest of touch.
With this autumn-bruised girl that's seen so much.
Of the fear of love and the deceptions of dawn.
How to heal your soul and how life goes on.
Outside her window the wind sings me her story.
How she gave her heart for seven long years of glory.
Outside her window, the douglas offers his fur.
To protect this flower and let her heart grow again.
The lesson she taught me was that, her name was Hope
I'm grateful for that gift, for that beautiful autumn day.
I cherish these moments with this beautiful autumn girl.
That speaks to my soul and that rocks my world.
Ever since that day now I choose to live in hope.
