God's Gift

The sweet smelling morning bright
Awed by the mellow colourful sight
Of this paradise on earth
Nature dressed as a mystical sprite

The dewy air and shimmering dew drops
Fragrance rising from the flowering hops
The chirping birds on the shore
Stunned traveller along the way stops

Mossy ground overgrown with vines
A daisy in her yellow gown shines
Stark mountains look on with pride
And drink this lovely morning’s wines

God’s pure gifts sing out his hymns
His kindness this sheer beauty claims
Sapphire sky dance over the sapphire lake
Vibrant nature no living being could tame

This is the good stuff!!!! Much enjoyed the overgrown vines and drinking of the morning's wines. Special words to express how much you love nature. Your poem comes full circle nicely when you mention God's gifts signing out hymns. ONly He could create the imagery u beautifully scribed here. Congrats on truly a gorgeous poem! Gwendolen
