Paint a Picture

Paint a picture of a mountain scene with colors of autumn a glow Paint in white, the highest peak, first of a winter snow Then somewhere in the distance, the hint of a waterfall, let it cascade down into a little creek, on the bank, a rotting log Let the leaves fall from the trees in shades of gold and red The wisp of a cloud up high and paint an eagle over head Paint the shimmer of reflection in the quiet shade of a pool, The ripple of a brook- trout, as it looks for a minnow school Then paint the rays of the sun, as they steal through limbs of black and brown Creating little spots of shade that play with leaves on the ground Down at the bottom, sign your name with pride for all to see For you are to paint God’s Creation, what an honor that will be
