Praise and Glory '

I observe the Lord is to be praised, who
Caused the springs to spurt,  and flow
Their ways' He raised all mountains He
Smoothed the plains' He stirrs the Oceons
And grades the grain.' The sand that shifts
The grass so green, and skies so blue.' 
The endlessness, and closeness too.' Our
Breath' and hope; which makes us reach'
The need to search, the desire to teach
The first and foremost is, revere His Name
Love each other, there you will gain..Increase of wisdom health and more
From He who observes us 'one and all.'

Hello Joe, Congrats on POTW! As I read your poem, I thought a modern psalmist, like David, who sees creation as intentional and alive, God as both immense and near, and yes, the love of others as the truest act of praise. Amen! Winter Blessings, Joe, Daniel
