MY FATHER THE ARTIST<\/p>\n

My Father is such a great artist,
\nNone on Earth can possibly compare,
\nHe started out with a blank canvas,
\nAnd in Six Days everything was there.<\/p>\n

He had so many colors to work with,
\nBlue for oceans and the sky above,
\nGreen for flowers, trees and grasses,
\nWhite for clouds, snow and the dove.<\/p>\n

Red and orange splashed the sunsets,
\nBlack graced His starry night sky,
\nHis beauty amazes and astounds me,
\nHis great love for us makes me cry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
