God's Paintbrush

Have you seen the sky on fire,
Just before the sun is up?
Seen a hummingbird sip nectar
From a morning glory cup?
                                              
Have you seen the world reflected
In a crystal drop of dew?
Seen the sunshine paint a rainbow,
When a summer storm is through?
                                             
Have you seen the color spectrum
In the ripples of a stream?
Seen the full moon's mellow magic
Cast a summer evening's dream?
                                             
Have you seen an eagle soaring?
Seen the gentle mourning dove?
Then you've seen God paint a picture,
With the paintbrush of His love.

Dang, I wish I had said that. Pristine comes to mind, very beautiful.
