Nature’s Bounty

   

Poetry

   

Bare tree stands against misty sky  

A thing of such beauty almost makes me cry  

Bare tree

Sunlight dapples through the moist trees  

Catches my breath and makes me weak in my knees  

  

I thank God for this beauty, I send up a prayer  

Thank God for Mother Nature or whoever is there  

Who would think there would be such power  

In the stark beauty of a single flower  

  

A single blue flower against endless seas  

Of countless flowers and plants and trees  

  

Beauty surrounds me at every turn  

Much needed nature walks I feel I’ve earned  

Time for my “Father/daughter” God and me talks  

That’s what I find when I go on my walks  

Uninterrupted by friend or by foe  

I commune with nature and bask in its glow  

  

Life is a gift – don’t ever forget  

This could all end tomorrow, you take what you get  

Of love, of life, of beauty, of living  

For all such gifts are the thanks I am giving  

Don’t turn away, not one moment lest you miss  

This bounty, this beauty for which we’ve been blessed  

  

Enjoy today and hope for tomorrow too  

Be thankful for all this awesomeness God gives you
