The Blessings of Nature
When the world is closing in,
And your heart and soul are bleeding,
And images of death, disease and pain
Overflow in your heavy head,
Venture outside under the heavens,
And notice Nature's gift of blessings:
The Earth and its Skies, the Sea and its Shores,
The Mountain and its Valleys,
and the Moon and its Stars.
And listen closely for Nature's comforting song
In all that she has offered.
She speaks to us in many tongues,
And smiles her picture of beauty.
She slips into our darkest and deepest thoughts
And relieves us of their harm
with her ever gentle and healing hand.
