Fall Time

Fall time this year was so lovely
The trees were hung in shimmering gold,
Hues of red, rust brown and orange
Were a sight for one's heart to behold.
Petals danced airily to the ground
And settled in colorful array,
Too soon their tints had turned to brown,
Then Winter winds had their way.
Branches bare reached to the sky,

In the wind they would dance and nod,
Next season this beauty will come again
When touched by the Hand of God.
