Gods Coloring Book

Miranda Lambert
written on: 4/22/11

While driving down the interstate
A random stop brought me here today
Where, painted mountains touch the sky
and, Heaven's reflection on the water will stay

Serene surroundings from petal to bark
Just a peak of God's coloring book
Under a brush is where I'll lie
To a sky of royal blue I'll look

Saffron Daisies tickle my nose
While a cascaded breeze around me blows
A scenic day in midst July
The time right here gracefully flows.

Miranda, The idea of daisies tickling your nose makes the reader feel as though he/she is as close to the image as you are in writing it. With our creator's love for children and the simple heart, the coloring book fits nicely. Are the results in yet? Bet u did well. Gwendolen
