My Journey to God

Indiana Blessings

Have you listened to joyful spring peepers,
and sniffed one perfect flower after the rain?
Wondrous are you, Lord.

Did you smell the summer hayfields,
and hear a chattering mockingbird answer the robin?
Praise to you, God.

Did you taste an orchard peach or crisp fall apple,
and feel the sun through a bright blue sky?
Glory to you, Lord.

As I fret over dark winter, bemoaning cold and ice,
I’ll recount our blessings and feel the peace in a snowfall.
Thank you, God, your wonders never end.
