Colors of the sky change,
so quickly as each minute passes by.
Last night’s glow of sunset,
painted with ease all across the sky.

There is a quiet gentleness,
and pleasure with the light of dawn.
Standing at the water's edge,
a lovely whitetail doe and her fawn.

Natural ripples in the water,
keeps its rhythm with nature's song.
While you watch it changes,
into another pattern before too long.

Robin’s songs greet the day,
stars waiting to signal another night.
Magnolia's aroma fills the air,
a breath taking sunrise at first light.

Trees full of green leaves,
complete nature's design on display.
Each season with a change,
there to treasure through each day.

Fireflies light up the sky,
while crickets play a musical sound.
Squirrels look for more nuts,
as they run about the sunlit ground.

Nature keeps a good watch,
and all living things stay in harmony.
With the eagle flying high,
to all the mammals and fish at sea.

The peace here on Earth,
unfolds each day at a leisurely pace.
Serenity moves in to linger,
when time rests in this tranquil place.

There was a vision written,
what was to be; and His original plan.
All that everyone can see,
was created with God's loving hands.
