God's Gifts All Around

(c)  By:  Sharon Slaton Howell



In my view, nature is one big poem
just waiting to be written.
No end are the possibilities
for artistic expression and fulfillment
for those who see God in everything --
infinite themes to lose oneself in.
Take trees, for one example;
one could spend hours at a time
just capturing the  way
light plays on trunks.
Or rocks, and the many
shades and patterns of the moss
clinging thereto.
Whether would-be painter or poet --
moved in contemplation,
touched by inspiration --
let us thank our generous Father.
