And Nature Spoke To Me

I pulled my aching body Outside to get Vitamin D The beauty of my back yard Filled me with jubilee And as I turned up my face To soak up each golden ray I heard strange sweet voices That added joy to my day And the sun spoke to me As he blazed down from the sky… “Like me you must be strong And warm those who pass by” And the wind spoke to me As it played with my hair… “Like the Holy Spirit of God I’m here and everywhere.” And the birds spoke to me With their blissful little tweets… “Open your heart to friends They will give you many treats” And the blossoms spoke to me In fuchsia garments of spring… “See the thorns by our sides? Be prepared for all life brings.” And the grass spoke to me As it lay yellow on the ground “Let love water your soul So new life in you may be found.” And the sky spoke to me In azure tones of love… “I’m endless as you can see Free to fly is the peace dove.” And the clouds spoke to me As they sailed up in the sky… “Let the worries that you have Like us just drift on by” And the pine trees spoke to me As their scent filled the air… “Stand tall like us and know Gods help is always there.” Today, all nature spoke to me In a mother’s tone so kind My heart heard every word And I found my peace of mind.
