The Wonder of it All

The lily, rose, and daffodil;

The pigment greens of chlorophyll.

Honey bees in search of pollen;

Weeping willow, visage fallen.

 

The radiant beams of golden sun;

A spider’s silky web is spun.

The warbling call of birds at dawn;

The graceful deer protects her fawn.

 

The raging, tumbling cataract;

A treasured, ancient artefact.

The dense, grey nimbus clouds arise;

Thunder’s voice without disguise.

 

The rugged mountains veiled in mist;

A lark – world’s finest vocalist.

The whistling wind amidst the trees;

The ranging colours of the seas.

 

The parsley, thyme, and tarragon;

The non-metallic silicon.

The meadows opulent and lush;

The sunset hues from God’s paintbrush.

 

The slow approach of garden snail;

The vastness of the humpback whale,

Wonder grips each tribe and nation;

God’s pow’r displayed in all creation.
