I walked outside today
And there Your handiwork lay
The simple beauty of the leaves
The way the wind blows and weaves
How the trees grow so tall
These are the signs of fall
The leaves fall one at a time
Leaving piles that rustle and rhyme
Their colors change every day
Then fall for us to make play
This simple beauty is the best
It shines brighter than all the rest
Yet every day you just pass it by
So I am befuddled and wonder why
Why don’t you stop to admire?
The beautiful things of which I never tire
Why don’t you pay attention
To God’s amazing creation
If you stopped to look any way
You would see God’s beauty where it lay
You would see those simple leaves
The way the wind blows and weaves
This simplicity of nature that interweaves
Intricately with these simple leaves
Sometimes we forget to admire God's creation. Take some time today or this week to just stop and look around. All around you are little miracles and the most amazing masterpiece, molded from God himself.
