Autumn’s faithful gateway
Crisp mornings rolling out
Season’s changing screenplay
Brilliant colors now shout
Kaleidoscope of tints
Autumn’s happy exchange
Day’s colorful blueprint
Fallen leaves to arrange
Summer’s heat fades away
Winter patiently parks
Autumn’s vibrant bouquet
Each color-filled trademark
More gentle days ahead
How quickly they will go
Each vivid, glossy spread
Autumn’s colored chateau
Few more colors glowing
Nature quiets her pace
Autumn’s rainbow slowing
Full of Creator’s grace

Jesus, Son of Man
Human in every way
Temptation’s darkness
Resisting Satan’s play
Jesus, Son of God
Father’s one righteous path
Perfect and sinless
Upsetting evil’s math
Jesus, Son of Man
Born in humble stable
Love sent from Father
Sitting at His table
Jesus, Son of God
God walking among us
Our steps become His
Boarding heavenly bus
Christ, both God and Man
Bridges between each realm
Never bending knee
Steering from heaven’s helm
From John 8:54-55: “Jesus answered, ‘If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing. It is My Father who glorifies Me, He of whom you say, ‘He is our God,’ though you do not know Him. But I know Him.'”

Final breath of summer
Extinguished by autumn’s tune—
Leaves’ colorful sketch
Autumn brings changes
Nature’s preparation time—
Every fallen leaf
Trees’ full canopies
Annual autumn harvest
Left bare once again
