One of the greatest gifts you have given
Is the gift of the earth
The powerfully mysterious ocean
With its terrifying depths
Teeming with life that looks more alien than terrestrial
The towering trees
That house the colorful palate of birds
The dizzying heights of the purple mountains majesty
Looking down on all the earth
The wondrous desert with mountains of sand
And miraculous creatures that live in this desolate land
The frozen poles that expand forever
An ocean of snow and ice
The plains with blankets of grain flowing like ocean tides
The mighty river flowing from mountain to sea
The canyon carved from rock and cliff
The army of ants crawling on my lawn,
Blind to everything but their work
The staggering beauty of a blooming dogwood
The brilliant geometry of a spider web
Yes even the rocks cry out "Glory!"
