Wisdom Paints Life

My God above whose wisdom surely shows When Mother Nature paints her glory grand. While gilding grass beside the river grows, The autumn trees with golden leaves, as planned, Reflect their beauty, clinging reds and yellows. Rainwater streams her life upon the land. Beneath the mountain cattle comes to graze. And thus, without the help of man, life stays. © February 21, 2012 Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen
