Nature’s Beauty
I long to hit the blacktop roads.
Where I’ll go nobody knows.
I’ll go where there are pine trees.
Smell their scent & rustling leaves.
Hike around & enjoy the view.
Enjoy nature & the sun made new
each morning as it raises high.
Bringing blue color to the sky.
Enjoy the splendor of a clear blue lake.
Watch an eagle as it catches a snake.
Listen to the birds chirping loud.
Watch the sky & all the clouds.
Lay down by a rippling brook.
Watch the fish avoid the hook.
See a bear try to catch a fish
Adorn a butterfly with a kiss..
I kneel to worship at Jesus feet.
I thank Him for a world so neat.
I see God in nature everywhere.
It’s almost more than I can bare.
How are we worthy of such beauty.
Yet, heaven is promised to me.
Along with all who profess God.
To think we’re worthy is really odd.
Yet, I long to see such things.
The beauty that God alone can bring.———R. W. Johnson—-(2012)
