Colors of the Trees: poem by Yevgeniya Przhebelskaya

Autumn Beauty

Looking only at the crumbled leaves on the sidewalk

And at the sunset creeping earlier and earlier o'clock          

It's so easy to forget the beauty in the fall

Look up, dear, see the many colors of the trees

They are dancing as the wind sheds their old leaves

Look up and see the whole picture to find peace

Take your vitamin D and look outside your window during lunch time

Summer sunshine will come back in time

As you walk through each season, feel God's love in each one.
