The book of nature
Which all souls applaud
Is one for the ages
For its authored by God
Each page is a treasure
Of beauties expanse
That we take for granted
With only a glance
Come now beloved
And savor this gift
To find even deeper
Meaning to sift
A drawing, surrender
With our being whole
For rich are the blessings
When read with the soul
With each page of turning
Let Spirit reveal
A moment of living
Where one becomes real
A book of living
With our part to share
With Presence indwelling
Begins with our prayer
