Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of Gods great love, we are not consumed. His compassion never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

The colors of fall are freedom
The speech of children
As they jump in a pile of leaves
The colors of fall are beauty
Womens' breath-taking sight
As they admire God's handiwork
The colors of fall are sadness
The beginning of death
The start of icy winds
The colors of fall are symbols:

Red for anger at the world
So red marches away
Orange for wild creativity
So orange dances away
Yellow for shyness and silence
So yellow departs unnoticed

The colors of fall tremble
For winter is soon to come
The colors of fall will disappear
Replaced by a blanket
Of white nothingness
