Natasha L Scragg Poet Rhyme

Lift Up Your Eyes And See

As the Autumn season flourishes
And wealthy colours abound
And underfoot you're crunching leaves
Of Copper and Gold scattered around
And to add to its riches,
The first frosts, Silver brings!
"Lift up your eyes to heaven and see,
Who has created these things?"

When you hear the Seagull's laughter
And the chuckle of the Hen,
Nocturnal creatures announcing their presence
Though they stay hidden in their den,
When you feel your heart take flight
When a Robin hops close to you and sings,
"Lift up your eyes to heaven and see,
Who has created these things?"

When you see arrangements of colour
That wouldn't normally work well together,
When we feel reminded of our place
By the power of the weather,
When we appreciate nature
Oh what joy and refreshment it brings!
"Lift your eyes up to heaven and see,
Who has created these things?"

We have someone to thank for this
For these gifts are expressions of love
From a person who cares about how we feel
And he's watching from above.
He wants us to find happiness
His creation soothes us through our pain,
And all Jehovah asks of humankind
Is for them to think upon his name.

( Isaiah 40:26 )

Have a blessed day,Gordon Natasha L Scragg October 5, 2025 at 8:07 PM Thank you Gordon. When we open our minds and hearts to the beauty that surrounds us we get to see not only the divine hand but also various facets of His personality. Appreciate your thoughts and feedback. Thank you. Warm wishes :-)

Daniel Henry Rodgers October 2, 2025 at 5:56 AM Dear Natasha, OH, how every leaf, every birdcall, every shimmer of frost is something gentle and divine. And in that wandering, I felt a kind of quiet gratitude rise up. Not the loud kind, but the kind that makes you pause and breathe deeper. Amen! Autumn Blessings, Natasha, Daniel Natasha L Scragg October 2, 2025 at 9:06 AM Thank you Daniel. I totally agree. Everything in creation is divine and gentle. Even the faces of the common creatures like the sheep and cows and birds are gentle friendly faces. There's beauty in everything we see when we are looking at it. Thank you for your generous feedback. Warm wishes. :-)
