She marvelled at the glorious colors
The leaves all orange and red
She'd never seen such a beautiful display
Except in books she'd read


She wondered if heaven was as colorful
As the foliage is here on earth
She looked forward to this wonder
She'd inherited with her rebirth


She gave Jesus a quick thank you
For offering her such solace
A heavenly refuge of splendor
Of a totally peaceful place


Her meditations drifted to the bible
And of promises made to her
But her favorite verses of all
Are of her personal Savior





Jesus came to rescue her
He hung upon a tree
He was tortured and forsaken
And for this there is no fee


She wonders at the love
He so lovingly and freely gives
To one such as her
Who for sin so long she lived


One day she'll have a mansion
Placed in heaven just for her
With trees as colorful as these
Maybe a bed of flowers


But it doesn't really matter
As long as she's with God
In His heavenly abode
That's all she really wants

Isaiah 6:3
Holy, holy, holy,is the
Lord of hosts; the whole
earth is full of His Glory
