Such Tender Love

Sitting on a bench in

The garden just now,

And watching a butterfly

Perched at the edge of

A birdbath getting a drink,

                Made me think.

I couldn't help but marvel

At God's love and care

For something so fragile.

That He does take account

Of all that He has made

We know from Jesus' words

In the Sermon on the Mount,

Where he speaks of even

The fowls of the air

Being provided for.


Reflecting on our dear Father's

Tender love for all His creatures,

How my thoughts of thanks

And praise to Him do soar.
