In Awe – a poem

so beautiful and serene that
no string of words could capture adequately
the sights and sounds and scents and sensations of this time and place

thank You, Father,
for the eyes to see,
for the ears to hear,
for the nose to smell,
for nerves alive to feel,
for legs to walk,
for arms to lift and carry,
for all my body so alive and well.

when I see this beauty I am awed
by Your creative ways.
