God Is Love

God surely fashioned the blushing rose,
exquisite velvet petals of red.
I'm sure it was God who deftly chose 
happy colors of wildflower beds.

God is the single raindrop that falls,
the  snowflake individually proud.
Thunder and lightning are God's call,
lovely rainbow midst changeable cloud.

God is the mountains and meadows below,
the oceans and tiny, wayward creeks.
I believe God would like us to know
in birds' lovely songs, God often speaks.

God knows the heart of the wildest beast,
and the heart of a peaceful dove.
God's power comforts those having least
In my heart, I believe God is love.
