All the Wonders

The purple velvet across the sky,

I touch the strong green grass,

The yellow of the wild black-eye,

The red-brown of brass

The bright grey of silver,

The amber that gleams gold,

The white Cliffs of Dover,

And stories never told.

Utah’s coral dunes,

India’s Taj Mahal

Air that fills balloons

Abraham and Paul

Spring in May,

Flowers in June,

Hot Summer days,

The sun and the moon

Love and endeavor,

Family and friends,

Never and forever,

The beginning and the end

The turtle’s hard shell,

From the great blue whale to dust,

Heaven and Hell,

All that is just

The Saw-toothed Mountains in Idaho,

The grazing buffalo herd,

Sand Harbor at Lake Tahoe,

Silence and the WORD

From the mighty redwood,

To the microscopic things

To all of manhood,

His people Human Beings
