A Painted Dawn

The Artist took a brush and He
Painted, oh so delicately,
Tree branches, black, against a sky
Where wisps of rosy cloud drift by
And then He hung a morning star
To twinkle at us from afar.

The music to complete the scene,
Came from a mourning dove, unseen,
Who sent it's soft and plaintive call
Across the fields, to gently fall
Like lyric petals through the air,
As dawn emerges, cool and fair.

No human hand can duplicate
What God so deftly can create!


Betty Lou Hebert
