I Love Nature

My soul cries for Nature and natural things To blend with my spirit as one And circle this globe on powerful wings Oh, show me all that Creation has made I have been hidden where putrefaction clings And where decay blocks out the sun But somewhere I know that a mockingbird sings I know of cold water that comes from the springs And miracles that rains have done As my being longs for the beauty that brings Oh, show me all that Creation has made I am in purgatory after Death stings Covered with earth and mud that runs All the same for peasants and kings Oh, show me all that Creation has made Heaven will be soon when the entry bell rings I may be summoned by some nun To step into glory as a welcome pings But, Dear Lord, I will miss those bluebonnet Springs I love Nature and freedom won Still, tell me that's life and the pendulum swings Oh, show me all that Creation has made 2-21-19 Contest:February 2019, Roundel Sponsor: Dear Heart
