Notes About The Poem

I Believe In God

I do believe that God made all things right.
     Let us rejoice for all is bright since God
          In kindness made this world in harmony.

For look, is not the sea so full of food?
     What would we do without sardines and whales?
          And aren't our fields so full of corn and wheat?

Do not the trees grow fruit that satiates?
     Could we stop eating apples all the time?
          Our orchards are so full of tasty fare.

The forest praises, it purifies our air.
  Thank God for palms, and oaks and stately spruce,
     Bushy hazels and the silver birches,
          The Lord created for our pleasure trees.

I know God's great creation were the birds.
  I love so much to see them fly so high.
     I am delighted by their melodies
          and so admire their elegance in flight.

God, bless the wind in all its many forms
     They clear the clouds and pollinate the trees.
          Such forces God did not create in vain?

So full of joy, rejoice and bless the Lord.
It is a must to take good care. Praise God.

Anil Deo December 29, 2021 at 12:19 PM hallelujah (in Hebrew: Praise the LORD). Romans by Paul, chapter 1, calls this Revelation of God in Nature. You give such delicious details. Your details of trees won me all over again, Victor. Your first line - nay all of stanza #1 - is sweet to Abba-Father-God, giver of good gifts (James 1)
