  A beautiful tree on our little country road this morning.  Such a glorious time of year!

  Autumn Outing by LaVerne P. Larson

  The flaming hills of autumn
  Are a wonder to behold
  When all the countryside
  Turns to red and gold.

  To walk a wooded pathway
  Through this fairyland
  And see the magic wonders
  Wrought by the Master’s hand.

  Bright autumn skies above me
  And the air so fresh and clear,
  The pungent smell of nature
  Is sweet and very near

  I gaze at all the treetops
  Wearing lovely rainbow crowns,
  And beneath my feet a carpet
  Of leaves with crunching sounds.

  Each songbird still singing
  Such a gay and lilting tune,
  And the golden sun is shining
  Like the merry month of June.

  Furry, lively forest folk
  Are darting to and fro,
  Enjoying fruits of autumn
  Before the winter snow.

  Then when my walk is over,
  I pause to say a prayer,
  To thank God for the beauty
  I have viewed beyond compare.
