Colors Of Blessing

By: Susan Y Nikitenko 2009

Revised 2010

Could the angels have special jobs;

Like painting leaves of fall?

Can’t mighty God do anything?

He has created all.

Perhaps angels spread forth their wings;

To paint the swirls of fall.

Upon the trees of mountain tops;

And on the forests tall.

A swish of orange, a splash of gold;

A whirl of autumn red.

Every creature great and small;

I’m sure would lift their head.

From tree to tree each color grows;

and spreads across the land.

A gift from God to be enjoyed;

Made by his perfect hand.

Each angel flying here and there;

Spreading colors of joy.

And when leaves flutter to the ground;

It makes a rainbow toy. - (A pile of leaves)

Children jumping, children laughing;

In the colorful mounds.

Up pops a smiling little face;

With all the fun-filled sounds.

And like a child I too will laugh;

I’ll jump right in with glee.

And enjoy these lovely blessings;

He’s given you and me.

Orange leaves of family laughter;

Red leaves a promise of grace.

Yellow a golden forever;

In the arms of God's embrace

I’m not too old to play in leaves;

Too old to have some fun.

I’ll roll around and giggle too;

     and I’ll have joy in God's Son.   

For He fills my heart with laughter;

He is so good you see.

He’s painted this, a lovely world;

 It is inside of me.   

                              

Jumping daily in His presence;

A colorful array.

Jump into Joy, Jump into peace;

By trusting Him every day.

Jump happily, into kindness;

Jump with glee into love.

Be content and be hopeful;

Looking to Him above.

Leave a lasting essence of hope;

To all eyes watching you.

A rainbow of blessing awaits;

Come, jump into it too.

-I wrote this poem as a reaction to something else I read. I started thinking about my children when they were little. I was missing my small children because they were growing up. 
I was thinking of having another child. I was also thinking about children who are in heaven. Years ago, someone had lost a baby and I was talking to her and God gave me something to say.
I told her, "I believe God gives babies special jobs in heaven." That was the first time I ever heard that.. out of my own mouth. I remembered that when I wrote this poem. God gives us joy through our sorrow..when we trust Him. He's our comforter. God's Son, is finding Jesus Christ... and teaching my children about Him. I was wanting the reader to get the picture of what I was talking about and the feeling that comes along with loving your children and playing with them.
