The Great Artist, by Alice Fulp
The Winter wind blows across the snows,
In a scene of Winter wonderland.
It is a beautiful picture painted,
Painted by the Master's hand.
The Spring breeze blows in the trees.
The scene is lovely Fairyland.
It is a beautiful picture painted,
Painted by the Master's hand.
The Summer rains fall to bless us all,
They water the crops and pasture land.
It is a beautiful picture painted,
Painted by the Master's hand.
The Autumn sun is high in the sky.
The colors change in all the land.
It is a beautiful picture painted,
Painted by the Master's hand.
Art is a culture of great demand.
The earth is a beautiful master piece.
It was created and planned carefully
Painted by the Master's hand.
Left to cherish happy memories are a number of nieces, nephews and wonderful friends.
