keep the faith - fall

every year
in the fall
that tree of red
has me in awe
along with its neighbors,
yellow and orange,
true colors come through
(kept in summers storage)
when the temperatures cool
and the shadows grow long
that is when the colors are strong –
out of weakness
no one else knows,
how beautiful you’ve become
that only now shows.
I believe you are crimson,
caring and kind,
the blood of our Lord
is His blessing divine
we show our colors
when we keep the faith,
it is true,
with our weaknesses uncovered
God’s will shines through.
