Nature’s Reflections
Simple things are miracles.
I hold them up to a mirror
in praise;
with each reflection
I see the face of Nature…
simple things created
by the Master’s hand:
like sunshine at the beginning
of a new day,
daffodils in spring,
and rainbows after a sudden rain.
Simple things are easy to find:
I see them in the meadows of wildflowers;
I hear them in melodies of birds…
when I reach out to Nature’s Miracles,
it matters not the season.
I always find perfect and simple gifts…
silent reflections waiting to be discovered.
