The Nature of Nature

This poem emphasizes appreciation of nature.

Nature is beautiful in every way;
A gift from God that will never pass away.
Its divine presence illuminates the soul;
A priceless commodity that will never grow old.
A timeless instructor teaching lessons from the past;
An ever-glowing diamond with truth that will forever last.
To be handled with exquisite care by like-minded caretakers;
With grave, deadly consequences from its Heavenly Maker.
For those who viciously choose
To utterly misuse and abuse
This beautiful gift from Heaven above
Created with blissful, eternal love.
Nature is a nurturing partner
Who loves those love it back;
Who shares openly with those
Whom when they borrow give it back.
