Autumn Daunting Goes

Who waves the flaming brand? I really think I know. Arrayed with fiery arms, He puts on quite a show. The artist of autumn, in a dazzling display Of sweet gums, and red maples—takes our breath away. Summer fades to fall, trees give up their green, Transformed by master design, red, yellow, serene. Peacocks fluff their feathers; mocking birds busily sing, Formidable autumn is a daunting thing. Chlorophyll gives way to radient carotene hues, Bright with fall wardrobe, wearing color clues. Clap your hands O beauty, sing into the wind. Share boundless blessings, blushed in scarlet blend. Heaven shouts approval; people show amaze, At your brilliant garments, displaying coats ablaze. Leaves parade golden in fall’s nippy breeze. We are highly joyful—God does things like these!
