FALLEN GOLDEN LEAVES
Fallen golden leaves
Mingle with green grass
On our cool, backyard lawn
Giving forth an array
Of beautiful contrasting colors
That only God could conceive
In the chilly air of fall
Today, green and gold hues
Showcase earth's beauty
But their days are numbered,
Though, for winter winds shall blow
And the leaves and grass
Shall be covered
With God's all white
Redeeming love
