Three Fall Trees

Shirley A Mandel
As I walked
down the road
on a cool Autumn day,
I saw three Fall trees
standing in a row.

One was red.
One was orange.
And one was a bright, happy yellow.
But all were painted beautifully
by creation's Master Artist.

And He is glorious
you see.

The physical universe
is a dim reflection of His glory.
And man's art is but a reflection
of nature's glory.

But He is truly the Master Painter
of creation's trees.
