Everyday Blessings in Color

by: Phyllis Elaine Belden

The Yellow Sun rising over the Azure Blue Lake.

Red Cardinals feasting on Black Sunflower Seeds.

Gold and Purple Finches,

joining the Black and White Chickadees.

Sharing the first meal of the day.

Tiny Green Hummingbirds,with Red Bibs,

darting from here to there.

Getting a sip of Red Nectar and chasing each other.

Everyday Blessings in Color.

Black and White Woodpeckers, with their Red Hats on.

Pecking on the trees, as if to wake the sleeping bugs.

Brown and Red Squirrels,

jumping from Green Tree to Green Tree.

Hunting for Brown Nuts, Red Apples,

and Yellow Corn to enjoy for lunch.

Under a Sky as Blue as the Ocean,

Red Roses bow to each other.

As the soft breath of God moves them to and fro.

Black and Yellow Bumblebees,

and Butterflies of every color.

Enjoying God's nectar from flowers that he painted.

Yellow Stars and an Orange Moon signals time to rest.

Everyday Blessings in Color.
