Perfect Timing

You wet the flowers
when you know the time is right
You bring forth the moon
to light our way at night

You beckon the sun
so we can have some fun
the birds of the sky
You gave them wings to fly 

wild animals roam free
in their area if we let them be
I sometimes forget about Your perfect timing 
when it feels like things are idling…

Really like the way you personify Mother Nature and describe the gifts she brings us, Wilma. The reader has an uplifting feeling from this wonderful rhyme! Love, Carolyn
