SUN RISING IN THE HORIZON

SUN RISING IN THE HORIZON


Sun rising in the horizon, greeted by the flowers
With love and gratitude because they owe their life to it,
Bestows on them its golden rays that bring a gentle warmth
That dries up the dew drops resting on the tender petals.

The gentle breeze that caresses the flowers that are shy
Carries softly the exuding aroma far and wide.
The wind helps the flowers rooted in earth spread out their scent.
While rendering this help, the wind itself catches fragrance.

The sun gives warmth to the flowers and helps them grow and smile.
The wind helps the flowers to spread their fragrance far and wide.
The bees are attracted by the fragrance and pollinate.
The sun, the wind, bees and flowers, all fulfill His design.

Let’s marvel at the beauty of Nature as made by God.
Let’s try to preserve it in its pristine beauty always.
