Young girl smelling a freshly cut flower
Springtime Prayers Ralph Waldo Emerson

For flowers that bloom about our feet,
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet,
For song of bird, and hum of bee,
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

For blue of stream and blue of sky,
For pleasant shade of branches high,
For fragrant air and cooling breeze,
For beauty of the blooming trees,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!


Insightful Commentary:

Look around,
see the details of all of nature's beauty
and appreciate the infinity of God's creation
