Nature
I hear the robin chirping in the fresh new morning air
He's greeting his Creator as he sings his little prayer
With melody and harmony that blends with all the sounds
Creation is expressing in its constant thankful rounds
It's thankful for the morning for another day of life
Not focused on the dangers of the other kinds of strife
It knows it may experience as creatures often do
While seeking preservation by the chores it must go through
No there may not be sweeping or the cleaning of the house
That occupies the thinking of the wily eyed field mouse
But in its occupation of pursuing what to eat
It also must be careful of the dangers it might meet
As hawks and owls are watching for their own next morning meal
Not worried for the outcome of the mouse and how it feels
Just thinking of its own young and the mouths that they must feed
If they too will be able to develop and succeed
And wrens and larks and chickadees that gather seeds to eat
Must likewise watch around them as they prance upon their feet
As serpents may be lurking very close and very still
Just waiting for the next thing unaware that they can kill
And then there's the opossums and the skunks and chipmunks too
Who meet with their disaster in the course they often choose
That takes them in the roadways and the highways where they find
Another kind of creature made without a heart or mind
For everything has reason in this world to fear the day
With all potential dangers that might greet them in the way
Until the Lord of glory comes to put an end to sin
And God becomes the center post that rules the hearts of men
But still the birds are chirping warbling out their little songs
Not focused on the future and the things that could go wrong
But focused on the moment and how glad they are to be
Blessed by their great Creator and the fruitfulness they see
To be to us a lesson who have reason more to sing Of Him
Who loves us more than life and gives us everything
That has secured our future in that home beyond the sky
Where all will live in joyfulness and none will ever die
Romans 8:14-28
