I Stand In Awe of Nature

The power and beauty of Nature fill my heart, Sometimes, gazing at a mountain's grandeur make the tears spill, Thunder and lightning at eventide, give me a thrill, Yes, I stand in awe of Nature. A bird's sleepy chirp at twilight makes me take notice As I think of the hard life they lead, but still they're happy, The clear, blue water of a lake gives me a glow, Yes, I stand in awe of Nature. Tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes all speak of Her power-- Then I watch a horse trotting around a track, and I think "What raw power and yet what beauty we live with" Yes, I stand in awe of Nature. If you ever watch a sunset over Earth's waters, Or listen to a tree whispering to another, You can't help but feel the power And the love of our planet, And, like me, you will stand in awe of Nature.

Dear Patricia, Thanks for your comments on "The Wildebeast" We can show our appreciation for our ability to reason by helping them. Because they are unable to do this causes great suffering. They have to creat great herds for protection. The opportunity to help them do so gives us a chance to say thanks for the ability to think and do all the things they are unable to do. Norman Purvis. I also am in awe of nature. normanpurvis@casema.nl
