Natural Religion: All of Nature Worships the Sun

When I'm writing a poem about God as a Partner    
I'm not really thinking about writing a poem    
as much as wondering Who God is, What is God like?    
It's like when a tree by the river casts its image    
upon the water, forming a reflection,    
It isn't really thinking about it so much as    
Living and loving its life,lifting its boughs aloft.    
   
As its fragrant flowers open, they are accompanied    
by the branch-bending birds opening their mouths in song.    
What is the object of all this worship, the Sun overhead.    
It's natural for animals and vegetation to give glory to the Sun.    
That's why taken collectively, they're called Nature.LOL.    
   
Plants and trees, birds and the beasts of the field  
Can not know or even conceive of God, only humans can.    
The shining of the Sun, that's as close as they can come.      
As the trees of the forests lift their limbs heavenward,    
Yes,as the wind causes their leaves to rustle,    
They are setting an example for mankind to imitate,    
A model for all humanity to follow - with rejoicing!    

By reaching up with our arms, and speaking praise with our tongues    
Not to the inanimate Sun in the sky but to the Living Sun.    
in the Heaven beyond the skies, Invisible and eternal.    
For don't we read, "The Lord God is a SUN and shield,  
No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly"(Psalms 84.11).  
And Paul the Apostle says that when Christ appeared him,  
He saw "a Light from heaven brighter than the sun"(Acts 26.13).
