The treasures of mother earth are ours to behold

I sat beside the little brook
in the quiet of day
and listened to the peaceful
sounds the running water made

I saw many stones of different
sizes and shapes. Their colors
added beauty to the water and
scenic landscape

Now and then a fish would
dart between the little rocks
Their bodies shimmered in the
sunlight,as they swam from spot
to spot

Once in a while a bug would
land upon the bubbling brook,
or a leave would float by,on
its journey to some shady nook

I sat there for quite a while
enjoying the serenity of the
the scene and realized it was
an intragal part of natures scheme

For God with his infinite wisdom
shaped and made this great earth
We need only to notice its
treasures and realize their worth

Yes, I sat beside the little brook
on a quiet summers day
and enjoyed its glimmering waters
as it traveled on its way
