Whispers of Wonder
Oh what a wonder that so long ago
God created the beauties of Earth.
A delightful pleasure it is for sure
that to humans and beasts He gave birth.
It’s simply splendid to gaze into the heavens
and marvel at the wonders of night.
Or sit in the sun in the heat of the day
and feel the power of that life-giving light.
What pleasure to roam through gardens of flowers
beneath shady cottonwood trees,
and experience the glory of dozens of colors,
and see the birds that float on the breeze.
There are wonders in clouds, in blue skies, in rainbows,
in rocks, in caves, and in natural springs.
There’s beauty along highways, through rivers, in valleys,
and in the intricate pattern of Dragonfly wings.
There are many more beauties, and many more wonders,
but none so lovely and precious
as those that are seen in the eyes of God’s people
as they shine with the love of our Jesus.
And as for you, precious child of God,
it is seen in the smile of your face,
that your heart’s filled with love, and kindness, and goodness,
and you’re blessed with the richness of His grace.
There are wonders about you, and beauties, and more,
and it’s a hope that for many more years,
we’ll be blessed with the privilege of sharing your life,
your hopes, your joys, and your tears.
