God's Nature?

I grew up in New York City but I always felt I was missing everything I read about life in the country. It's hard to explain but city life robs your SOUL of dignity. I can better describe it in a poem. So here it is...


Poem Artwork

God made nature; man made concrete and steel.

City life is unnatural and is not real as it seems.

In the country one can see, hear, taste, smell and feel.

It’s refreshing to hear a river flow; taste real butter cream.

It’s calming to feel the ocean breeze and smell salt in the air.

See the nature God created because for some, it’s just a dream.

 

Folks who stay huddled in tenement walls are missing out on life.

Those walls can be like a stone prison with no natural light.

Some who don’t go outside can feel bitter and full of strife.

So it’s time to get out in the country and do what feels right.

 

Escape from those concrete and steel walls.

Get away from the computer and turn off that TV.

Come and see what the Lord our God has created.

God’s world is Alive,

filled with color and 

it's THE REAL 3D!

 Amen

 

  Reference: Revelation 7:3

“Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”

You are right John. I'm so glad I was raised in the country and raised my sons there.

Wonderful poem John ~
Nature helps us to put balance in our frenetic lives, especially if we are surrounded by a plethora of technology! Thank you for reminding us :)
Blessings,
Christine

God's Nature - it can't be beat, yet these extremely sad days, we are beating it to death, faster and faster it seems. I truly feel sorry for today's generation of 'indoor computer children,' who are missing out on so much, and for future generations of children, who will have very little left, of God's Nature.

Before I lived in the country.....there was one apple tree up on a hill behind our house.....there was a (dirty) creek and little hills across the street from our house.....when I grew up, I feasted my eyes on the neighbors' flowers and shrubs when we had none. Every little bit of nature helps. and there's always the sky, in big or little patches, to lift my heart up to the Lord and praise Him.

Hi John,
Love this poem. I live in the mountains and appreciate your words here. I need the sounds of nature to survive. Some cannot live away from the cities, but they should fine the time to escape to the hills and God's creations whenever they can.
I hope they do.

I to am a native New Yorker living now in the valley of the sun. But I think all of my homes were directed to me by GOD. I enjoyed this writing my friend. Your writings are always done with goodness.
GOD BLESS YOU

I fully empathise with your view here, and yet I find cities have their own certain charm and integrity too...My son recently visited New York from here in UK, and loved every minute of his trip...There was such an energy to the place he said...There is no doubt however that country life has Nature in full flow, and we can be privy to this when we are near...It is such a treat to experience...
Hugs, Diana...

Beautiful- I so believe in getting out in nature.
Human nesting sites may seem out of sorts- yet I notice the rest of nature does not seem to see the difference. I have marveled at hawks on a high rise, foxes running through the middle of a busy town- a crow snatching a mouse between cars on a busy street- as if nature was all they see. Nature flows no matter what we put in the way- but all flows better when we cooperate.

John
