Victoria - the Park of Local Nature

One of my favorite pastimes I have
having a leisurely stroll in my Victoria Park
especially like today, it's so lovely and sunny
wondering if it was ever like this in the ark

Just sitting by the side of the pond
full of ducks, birds, and many a swan
so great seeing nature at its height
we'll dread the day when it's all gone

Looking up into the deep blue sky
so clear over the white clouds so still
amidst folk walking their dogs along
beside the water edge like a normal drill

Here we see God's wonderful creation
everything around has the mark of His hand
His glory is seen in the post clock nearby
'now is the day of salvation' there does stand

These evangelistic words there for all to see
pray many read them to follow and obey
God is there in word and in nature
there's no excuse but walk in His day

(My favorite walks in Victoria Park nearby which is such a pleasurable pastime. This park is in the Partick area of Glasgow, Scotland.)

Nothing beats being at one with nature and admiring the wonders of creation Gordon. Hope you're well and enjoying your weekend. Just had a week away in Wales, going we went through the Elan Valley and the scenery was spectacular. Tom

Thanks Tom, so good to hear from you and pleased you were able to get away to Wales and enjoyed the scenery there. We had a few days at Southport recently and it was nice and sunny most of the time. Do have a blessed weekend, Gordon
