The sun is bright in the morning

The skies are very clear

But for a few clouds wafting by

And there is a nip in the air

Oh it is lovely to be alive

With all the beauty around

To be able to see and enjoy it

Autumn arrived without sound

The leaves are so brilliantly colored

Makes you wonder where God keeps his brush

And his palette of wonderful colors

As he gives this present to us

I love the scent of autumn

It is distinct and I can't tell you why

But I think you know of what I speak

As the geese in formation fly

I believe the colors of autumn

Are to remind us to appreciate nature

To teach us how lucky we are

God is smiling on us, simple and pure

This is so beautiful, Elsie! I especially love this:
"And his pallet of wonderful colors
As he gives this present to us"
Nobody has a pallette of colors like the Master! We can try to paint or photograph those colors, but our efforts never equal His.
