ALL CREATURES GREAT & SMALL . . .

ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER

Trees stretch their limbs up to the clouds

Reaching almost high enough to touch the face of God,

Swaying gently in the summer breeze,

Or brilliantly bathed in a palette of warmth,

Eventually they lose their foliage,

Their barren limbs weep,

As frigid winter air fills with ice,

Spring brings new life,

With each tiny, insignificant bud,

Blooming slowly into a rich canopy to provide shade,

For the tiny creatures below,

God has created this masterpiece just for us,

His love is greater than our tiny hearts deserve.

About atimetoshare.me

As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension. I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog. I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ. My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.

  2. Inspiring painting with your blessed words. Paul captures the essence of our Creator’s vision. His painting takes me back to look at Charles M. Russell’s “When the Land Belonged to God.” Both encourage an encounter with more writing.

    I have been thinking of beautiful vistas of late, and marveling at how God made them beautiful and how God made us to perceive that beauty. Thanks for those thoughts poetically.

  4. Love! I feel like this was painted from a scene in Wyoming or Montana? The poem fits it perfectly!

      I believe it was painted while in Yellowstone a number of years ago. Paul’s work has almost always included those two states. He could take a mental picture of a scene and transform it into a painting. He had a beautiful mind.

    A great reminder of God’s love for us, Kathy. The power and strength of the buffalo jumps out of this painting along with the beautiful colors.
