Nature's Palette

"Nature's Palette"
By Rachel Heffington

Green and blue together,
bit of grass and sky
emerald trees beside a stream
to tempt the passerby.

Green and gold together,
royal buttercup
waving by the roadside
with sweet face lifted up.

Green and pink together
heart-depths of the rose
trembling and blushing
to feel green leaves so close.

Green and brown together
fields and leaves and earth.
Tell me, Lord how did You
think to contemplate their worth?
