Ode To Nature

To feel the morning zephyr on my face, To wake up to the sound of cuckoo's call, To take a stroll through the woods at my pace, To watch aurora greet the red fireball, To see the leaves romancing with the breeze, To smell the fresh scent of a blooming rose, To glimpse the hummingbird winging its way, To hold on to dawn's smile as it does tease, To enjoy azure sky's warm colour shows ~ How wonderful to thus begin my day!! Time with nature is sure to refresh us, Admiring God's beautiful creation, At daybreak, life around is lustre plus, We can leave behind all our frustration, Nature rejuvenates like none other, Where else can we find such calm, peace and joy? Our worries and cares, we can cast aside, When we spend some time with the earth mother, How careful we must be not to destroy the Maker's handiwork diversified!! Reigning gloriously, Nature's serene, As she goes about her assigned duties, At dayspring, we can admire her bright screen, Displaying her awe-inspiring beauties; She's a peaceful Regina's portraiture, Silently bearing, groaning* and seeing the destruction caused by human grenade; Deep in our hearts, we must be like nature ~ Always giving, spreading smiles by being true to our purpose for which we are made.

Jo, there is a lovely cadence and flow to this, like taking a stroll through a garden or a walk through a peaceful forest. I share your admiration for God's handiwork and find it one of life's richest blessings. The scripture quote from Romans 8 was a nice touch, and I found the last 3 lines so profound. I do admire your handiwork and miss you very much. I trust all is well. Blessings ~ John
