Nature’s Refrain
Sometimes I’m too focused on details each day,
That I fail to see grandeur that God sends my way.
When I cast my eyes downward, I easily fail
To see all the beauty that’s there on life’s trail.
It’s easy to fill up my life with the small.
There’s no time to take in creation at all.
There’s beauty around me that I fail to see,
If I’m only turned inward and focused on me.
It soon will be springtime with flowers galore.
The hills fill with color and fragrance once more,
Then warm summer evenings with stars overhead.
I know the creator, I’ve nothing to dread.
I pray I can focus beyond the mundane,
Perhaps hear the music of nature’s refrain.
God’s in every detail, He made all I can see.
I’m only a speck, yet God cares about me.
