My Journey to God

The Forest Prayer

I walked through the green leafy door
And stood upon a pine-needle floor,
And listened to the forest silence all around,
Then I understood how each plant and tree is bound
Up in your love everywhere that I see.
The dome of sky, the towering tree,
All and everything He created perfectly.
So the forest in silence sings of His love,
And in its being offers its worship to Him above.
