The Artist

He takes a pure white canvas
And paints a wash of blue
Add soft shades of green
And paints a scene
In a gentle pastel hue.
 
His strokes create the petals
Of a golden daffodil
In a willow tree
For all to see
He paints a whippoorwill.
 
He then creates a garden
And its fragrance fills the air
It delights the eye
Of each passer-by
To see such blossoms, rare.
 
The artist paints a shining sun
To gently warm His Earth
And adds gentle showers
To delight the flowers
A new season is at birth!
 
The artist paints His final strokes
Of flora, sky, and sod
One last inspection
His work "Perfection"
He signs His painting
...God.
