All Too Wonderful

The trees are given
  to you, to me
The clouds are given
  to us, for free

The grass turns green
  overnight, prithee
The birds sing sweet
  as the honeybee

And if all this seems
  too wonderful to be
The whole Earth belongs
  to the Lord, you see

Gershon, you know be by now I hop, I would never not see this, but I apologise it tooks some time - three lovely verses, which tell us what the Lord gave us, and we plundering idiots on earth are destroying it an polluting it. Congratulations on a superb POTD. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer Jennifer.
