Wonder and radiance (Vol 3 No 7)


Movement and colour are graces so pleasing;

Sounds and sweet perfumes are here to delight;

Oceans and mountains and flora and fauna -

Too many marvels for us to recite.

 

Wonder and radiance,

Beauty, extravagance,

All come together in what we can see;

Nature’s abundance can fill all our senses;

We are in awe of these gifts that are free.



 

Given for everyone, now and the future;

Given for sharing, not profit nor greed;

Food for the hungry and drink for the thirsty;

There is sufficient for meeting each need.

 

Wonder and radiance,

Beauty, extravagance,

All come together in what we can see;

Nature’s abundance can fill all our senses;

We stand in awe of these gifts that are free.



 

Love and respect for the world all around us

Can make a difference; can halt future doom;

Can bring some healing; prevent grim destruction;

Show our thanksgiving and help nature bloom.

 

Wonder and radiance,

Beauty, extravagance -

These priceless gifts are for you and for me;

Nature’s abundance can thrill all our senses;

We must protect and preserve all we see.
