Autumn Walks Along the Southern Texas Coast

Miles upon miles of uninterrupted sand and surf, a naturalist's delight,

Multicolored kaleidoscopic sunsets my Galveston Bay can boast,

Down by the bridge, golden beach to your left, sunset on the bay to your right,

Graceful egrets dancing in the marsh, a magnificent pelican resting on a post,

Children running and playing in the surf, a little girl flying a butterfly kite,

In a luxury beach home set on stilts, a couple on the porch dining lifts up a toast,

An occasional family fishing by foot or boat sprinkles this peaceful sight,

Of all of the destinations I have been, this is one of my favorites, yes, the most.

"Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.'" Exodus 19:5-6
