From the words of English novelist and poet, Mary Webb:  “Nature’s music is never over; her silences are pauses, not conclusions.”

Creation’s wonders, lasting treasures

Beyond compare, by any measure

God’s unique Spirit molds, creates

Earth living as His domain, first-rate

Forests dazzle with matchless beauty

Witness to our Lord’s sacred duty

Animal species roam, some quite rare

Others appear to be everywhere

Distinctive flowers color the land

Their music soothes, like any jazz band

Unequaled majesty reaching high

Rugged mountains climbing to the sky

Creatures with their eccentric pursuits

Actions showing off, fun attributes

Man taking note of what God has done

High praises, He stands second to One

One and only one master designs

Each day, smiling at His nature shrines

From Genesis 1:29-30:  “God said, ‘See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.  And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.’  And it was so.”
