Sensational Summer...Thank You, God

Love to lie beneath the branches list’ning to leaf-melodies

Love to catch the scent of roses lobbed upon the buoyant breeze

Love to taste the thrill of morning, mist-enshrouded silver-green

Love to wander where the westward welkin weaves ribbons of e’en

Love to linger where the fingerprint of God is everywhere

Love to feel His Presence whisper anxiety into prayer

Love to watch two-second spangles in the puddles on the lane

Love to listen to the lyrics of a warm, soft summer rain

Love to feel the sweet sensation of youth in a shell, well worn

Love to share the exaltation of a flower freshly born

Love to savour the fine flavour of a lovely summer day

Love to humbly thank the Giver when I bow my head to pray

Psalm 104:1

O LORD my God, You are very great;

You are clothed with splendor and majesty...
