Jubilation

Patty G McKee 1948 (Long Beach, CA)

July 22 


Thousands of trees that bend in the breeze
whisper of His creation.
Sweet fragrant bowers of myriad flowers
attest to His plan.
Jubilation!

Canyons too vast for our minds to grasp
are monuments to His creation.
Progressing along, God continues His song.
His mystery unfolds.
Jubilation!

Only the blind would miss the design
God stamped into all creation.
The foolish and proud renounce Him aloud.
His bride humbly bows.
Jubilation!

When this age has passed, our Groom comes at last,
receiving us with elation.
Canyons and trees melt away with the seas.
A new world awaits.
Jubilation!

About this poem

It's a praise of creation as a defense that God exists, clearly indicated in the design we see around us.

Patty G McKee

I was born and raised in southern California, enjoying all it had to offer. I have one son, who is a brain injury survivor. He is the most positive person I know and his goal is to encourage others. I was able to study physics at Cal State Fullerton and had an interesting career that crossed many industries including defense, medical equipment development and fingerprint identification systems. Upon retirement I moved to the beautiful northern California town of Paradise, where life is slower and people are truly good neighbors. In 2018 the Camp Fire claimed my home and my community. I moved back to southern California to live with my son and help with his care. I enjoy writing stories more than poetry and love to travel. Life is an exciting adventure. more…
