~ The Leaves Of Autumn ~
I love to go to the falls
To watch the leaves of autumn
The colors are so beautiful to see
They have great meaning for me
Orange is for the golden sun
Green is for new life to come
Brown is for my memories
The crispness of the falling leaves
Is nature coming in my heart
As I watch I feel the mystery
For Jesus love in this world we see
The leaves of autumn touch the ground
Tall trees, I am surrounded, abode
As I look for the sky, I can smell the leaves
When I pass by, the birds fly high to me
Singing in the trees, the squirrels climb
Up on the roots, an old oak tree
With much to tell, God's art to be
Plays such a part, in the leaves I know
It is a very special season, as we go.

The people's poet
Psalm 100:5
For the Lord is good and his
love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues
through all generations.
