God's Trees
GOD’S TREES
Poem: Victoria H. Peurifoy © 10/27/2006
God has a way with his trees,
The autumn, spring, winter and summer trees
are all beautiful in his form.
It is amazing as I ride the highway, how God has just Touched each tree and given us Shades of green, auburn, burgundy, yellow, gold, pea, and moss and even gray.
The colors don’t seem to end.
Even browns, tans and other hues envelope the earth.
God gives us different heights, sizes, shapes and dimension just with the touch of his finger
or with just a thought in his mind.
Feel the breeze from his breath.
We need to appreciate the natural beauties
with which God has blessed us.
Sometimes his nature seems inconvenient for us, but we often forget his nature was here before we were thought about.
More colors have I discovered,
as I ride this highway. God has made us with colors too;
And they too, we have not learned to appreciate. We are just like God’s trees, colorful, shapely, short to gargantuan, and rooted in our ways. God’s trees are of his spirit and mindset. We destroy God’s tree just like we destroy ourselves.
The next time you see God’s tree, smile to yourself about how wonderful God is, and how wonderful are his trees.
