Autumn
The leaves are putting on their evening gowns
Of yellow, orange and red
They are on their way to the autumn ball
Before they go to bed.
The North Wind blows and blows
They twirl upon the tree branch
They swing themselves off the tree
Just watch them gaily dance!
They make a carpet upon the earth
Multi colours on the ground
The carpet is so beautiful
In shops it cannot be found.
Watch the children playing in the leaves
Kicking them all around
Watching them as they gently flutter
Back towards the ground.

Colours
It was funny I'll always know
When I walked into that store
And saw her sitting with neon socks
And a multicoloured frock
She had a purse of crocodile skin
It's handles attached with safety pins
In her hand she held a shoe
Which was multicoloured too
You should have smelt her scent should have seen her dress
You could see that the woman was a ghastly mess
You should have seen them throw her onto the street
All you could see waving were her neon feet
The woman caused a traffic jam
Until she was picked up by her husband Sam
When I saw him all I could do was stare
At the, worst dressed, multicoloured pair.

My
Lord you are my hiding place
In the storms of life
You promised to keep me safe from harm
From sorrow and from strife.
You are the Rose of Sharon
From sin you set me free
Draw me Lord closer
Closer unto thee.
You are the living water
To a weary thirsty soul
And with thy help Lord I’ll proceed
Towards my heavenly goal.
You are the wind beneath my wings
Which helps me to fly
Without you Lord I cannot win
Over sin even though I try.
You are a teacher and physician
And a shepherd who tends his flock
Lord I’m sorry I keep you running
After me around the clock.
Thank you for watching over me
And keeping me safe from harm
Thank you for making my stormy life
Peaceful and calm.
