The Autumn Leaves

The Autumn Leaves
By Larry Linville

The autumn leaves begin to turn
as they have always done each year.
The reds and yellows lead the way
then the others start to appear.

There are so many colors
and a variety of hues
that seem to take our breath away
at the panoramic views.

You’d think with all these colors
they would clash with other trees.
But they form a huge masterpiece
as they gently move in the breeze.

Why do people differ from trees
as we let our colors divide.
We could also be a masterpiece
if we’d allow God’s love to reside.

I guess the trees just depend on God
to bring out His beauty His way.
If we would just be like the trees
we’d be a beautiful bouquet
