Reflections of God I feel God’s presence when walking o'er hills In nodding heads of golden daffodils In fields of green and crystal waterfalls In trees standing proud, statuesque and tall. I hear God in vibrant sounds of the woods In murmurs of the breeze and babbling brooks I find Him in the glow of risen sun Fresh days and fresh pages to write upon. I sense God's love flow through charmed symphonies In enchantment of choral melodies I seek Him in the dewy morning mist In the sky when it has been rainbow kissed. God’s revealed in roosters crowing refrain In rain dancing upon the window pane I rejoice in nightfalls scenic display Stunning sunsets taking one's breathe away. There's not a fragrant rose in June that blooms Nor stars twinkling brightly around the moon No clouds adorning the canvas of sky That doesn't send reflections of God on high. In the morning I will sing of your love... * * * * * * * 19th October 2020 Your Personal Favourite Poetry Contest Sponsored by: L Milton Hankins

Hello Belle! What a beautiful poem to God! If it were set to music, it would make a great hymn to sing in church.

Belle, I love all your references to nature and music and how they remind you of God's love, creative power, and eye for beauty. Such a blessing to read. I especially enjoyed the lines "I find Him in the glow of risen sun / Fresh days and fresh pages to write upon" reminding me his mercies are new every morning. Blessings to you ~ John

This is outstanding, Belle. Utterly gorgeous verse. And such TRUTH ringing out from each stanza. For surely, all we can sense of God is what He deigns to show us through His 'names' in the world: His flowers, His trees, His birds, His bees. A huge FAVE for me. Thanks, Gershon
