Makes me wonder at cascading springs,
the melodic song the water sings
for the life each drop of moisture brings.
Makes me grateful for the doe and fawns
who walk right past me as daylight dawns
on their way to feed on forest lawns.
Makes me joyous for the bright blue sky
as birds with wild aspirations fly
up toward the cirrus clouds on high.
Makes me marvel at the mountain peak,
the heights every soul on earth can seek,
and how each life form is so unique.
For the leaf's and tree bark's symmetry,
and the woodpecker and bumblebee--
each one glories in what it can be.
Makes me pause to ponder reverently:
As a child of God, how do I see
my own purpose in eternity?
