Dear God
Dear God,
Are there butterflies in Heaven?
Do they sparkle like glitter,
Reflecting the glory of Your Light?
Dear God,
Are there puppies in Heaven?
Do they wag their tails with glee,
As You call each of them by name?
Dear God,
Are there birds in Heaven?
Do they each sing their own tune,
In praise for all that You've done?
Dear God,
Are there wolves in Heaven,
Do they sit in awe of Your beauty,
And join the angels' chorus?
Are there butterflies in Heaven?
Do they sparkle like glitter,
Reflecting the glory of Your Light?

Shoreline
What serene place to take a rest,
The shoreline, the coastal sea,
Where the birds the flutter, the dolphins swim,
The sea oats dance in the breeze,
Where the mighty waves strike the shore,
With a strong and thunderous sound,
And miniscule grains of crystal sand,
Are layered upon the ground,
What lovely place filled with beauty,
And color of every sort,
Where the palm trees grow to touch the sky,
And seashells make their port,
Where the waters that fill the mighty deep,
Reflect the blue hue of the sky,
And glitter...

Creation
The Almighty God made it all,
Every creature great and small,
It took God seven entire days,
To complete the work that He had made,
On the first day, the Lord God spoke,
"Let there be light!" - and it was so,
On the second day, God made a dome,
To divide the top waters from those below,
On the third day, God separated land from sea,
And made the plants, shrubs, and fruitful trees,
On the fourth day, the Almighty One,
Made the seasons, stars, moon, and sun,
On the fifth day, the God of light,
Made fish of the sea and birds of...

Autumn
Autumn.
Dried leaves falling. Flying. Dropping to the ground below.
Rakes. Rakes to round up piles of brown, lifeless, flaky leaves.
Trees. Trees no longer green. Green is just a memory.
Orange. Red. Yellow. Autumn colors reign.
Scents. Flowery scents change to pumpkin spice.
Time. Time is changing. Changing our clocks.
Days. Days are darker. Faster. Colder.
Autumn. Metamorphosis. Change. It's here.

Hurricane
Gusty winds. I feel you breathing on the land, whistling as you push your way through, forcing your way through.
Gushing waters. I hear you slash down on my coast.
Ring of clouds. I see you envelope in the sky, ready to tear and uproot everything that defies you.
Fierce Lightnings. I wince at the sight of your blazing strike.
Angry Thunders. You crack the skies and roar like a lion in mid-day.
Floods. Howling. Tearing. Falling. Pulling.
Hurricane.
Destruction. Force of Nature.
Hurricane.

A Day in Nature
Every morning, the sun arises,
The sky is born anew,
The world once again comes to life,
While the grass is still wet with dew,
The afternoon, filled with heat,
The sun placed in the middle of the sky,
The animals come out to eat,
And the birds just sing and fly,
Evening has come to greet us,
The sun now dims its light,
The sky is darkening as the day just fades,
And dusk turns into night,
The moon aglow and the stars lit up,
Twinkling in the nighttime sky,
All of nature soundly asleep now,
As a day...

Evening has come to greet us,
The sun now dims its light,
The sky is darkening as the day just fades,
And dusk turns into night,
The moon aglow and the stars lit up,
Twinkling in the nighttime sky,
All of nature soundly asleep now,
As a day...

Hold On
When the storms of life nudge at your hope,
Rip the sunshine from your skies,
Push and pull your endurance,
Shake the foundation of your faith,
Hold on tight a little longer,
God's got you,
When the winds pound your structure,
Screaming as they engulf your house on the rock,
As the floods rise above the norm,
As the waves beat mercilessly against your doors,
Hold on tight a little longer,
God's got you,
When destruction has you at ends wit,
And despair and...

Push and pull your endurance,
Shake the foundation of your faith,
Hold on tight a little longer,
God's got you,
When the winds pound your structure,
Screaming as they engulf your house on the rock,
As the floods rise above the norm,
As the waves beat mercilessly against your doors,
Hold on tight a little longer,
God's got you,
When destruction has you at ends wit,
And despair and...

Beach Girl
Sand in my feet,
Wind in my hair,
Shells on the ground,
And salt in the air,
Sun in the sky,
Fish in the sea,
Lotion on my skin,
That's beach life for me!
Wind in my hair,
Shells on the ground,
And salt in the air,
Sun in the sky,
Fish in the sea,
Lotion on my skin,
That's beach life for me!
