Let life, its sweetness find you, shades of rosy hue,
A taste of God’s creation, the tropics shining through.
Turning all, refreshing, the jaded, made anew,
The goodness of His bounty, the earth, in fullness due.

Take us back, our land and home, to where it all began,
To the meadows and the hills, to where the river ran.
Then was hope and promise, creation’s wondrous plan,
Amid the lush and lovely, the vast horizon span.
~ D.F.
Hidden not from view, the workings of His hand,
Both by word and spirit, He gently tills the land.
Beauty all creating, what is wounded, binding, mend,
Earth, His good and glory, home for the son of man.

“God looked at everything He had made, and found it very good.”
~ Genesis 1:31
Spring now beckons, new leaves unfold,
Plans and designs, cast from the mold.
Inscrutable ways, God’s wisdom behold,
New heaven and earth, promises of old.

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth.”
~ Revelation 21:1
Light dances, nature breathes free,
In all creation, your workings see.
Known, O Lord, to all who seek thee,
Even dark shadows, have yielded me.
~ D.F.
