We are Stewards of God's gift
We better protect everything God created
All the creatures in this planet
Have their own specific role to play
Which help the environmental ecosystems
They are all inter related for existing nature.
God has created nothing in this world
Without purpose, but we don't understand them
Natures gifts are alluring and adorable
As we disrespect them
We kill ourselves in a long run
Slowly but constantly
At least human should show
Respect to their own lives
Nature is life God-given, to be nurtured
And gives back man's life in its entirety.

Oh, Pacific, Paradise at a glance,
Where the ocean sings and mountain dance,
Where nature's beauty knows no bounds,
And ancient matriarchies wisdom resounds.
As the stewards of the land,
They had shown deep reverence for their hand.
By tending the gardens and planting trees,
And fishing the waters with gentle ease.
With the shadow of colonialism,
Patriarchy defying ancient mannerism.
And suppressed women’s voices,
To plunder the earth against all forces.
They turned away from the weeping earth,
Celebrating the exploitation with mirth.
Women leaders, brave and strong,
Raised their voices, to prove them wrong.
From the shores of Fiji to the atolls of Kiribati,
They spoke of the impending tragedy.
And the need to heal the land,
Not in arrogance, but hand in hand.
To revive ancient stewardship of the land,
They started making people understand,
That we must nurture the earth with sacred care,
And this wisdom, we all must share.

Stewards
Stand guard
Secure in place
Serving as loyal soldiers
Selfish souls like weeds wither

God’s Stewards
Written: by Miracle Man
6-22-2023
Many offer help expecting something in return,
but help shouldn’t come with a string attached.
For God blesses us beyond what we can discern,
and what God’s given us is always unmatched.
For unto each of us that much has been given,
we should strive to help those that we see mired.
With thoughts of helping we should be driven,
for to those with a lot, much more is required.
Luke 12:48
“For unto whomsoever much is given,
of him shall be much required:”

A sense of mortality makes us clingers
Resurrection as a lifestyle makes us stewards

Faithful stewards* strive for “Well done!”
Doing utmost with strength’s fullest
Serving Christ, the eminent One
Who deserves verily the best.
With the Lord’s grace as girding might
Faithful stewards strive for “Well done!”
Radiating life-building's bright light
Exemplified by God's great Son.
With masterpiece they had begun
Perfection upon faith-venture
Faithful stewards strive for “Well done!”
Through divine nature and nurture.
Modelling humble excellence
Inspiration for everyone
Working in diligent silence
Faithful stewards strive for “Well done!”
*Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Stewards of time,
Hear me well:
The old year is gone
And I cannot tell
What depth, or height
Or farthest breadth
Of earth's dimension
I can find it again
O let it go
And with it too
The sighs and tears
And sleeplessness
That measured our frustrations
The pounding heart,
The sweating hands,
Relent to hope
Must carve new joys
Out of this first fragment
Of time
Something to show
When the decade ends
As just returns
On talents spent.

A miracle unfolds,to enthrall,
From a caterpillar,green and small;
Upon the breeze,wind-blown
The pale yellow Brimstone;
A butterfly we briefly see,
If she could speak,her prayer... plea
Concern from we--her trustee.
Note The decline of the humble Buttertfly an indication of how we damage our environment
each day without thinking through the consequences for our own well being.

From the window, I can see
Snowy blooms on the dogwood tree
Cows grazing on pastures green
Baby calves, such a lovely scene
In my country heart, I seek
Words that describe, words to speak
So that others may read these lines
And find a deeper peace at times
God has filled our world with beauty
To care for it is our only duty
Stewards of the land are we
Keeping it beautiful for all to see
