Our Lord



He's the farmer who planted all the swaying trees in the forest
The paver of all the winding roads and bending paths that lay before us
He's the chiseler who formed all the towering snow capped mountains
The sculptor that shaped all nature's cool running water fountains
He's the artist that created all the creatures that live because of his devotion
The painter of all the seven seas and endless blue oceans
He's the intricate carver of all the flowing rivers and wandering springs
The tailor that neatly hand stitched all the fine feathered wings
He's the soft shower of a vibrant kaleidoscope that colors all the rainbows
The crystal prism rays that allow all the pretty petal flowers to grow
He's the fabled silver lining that surrounds all the white fluffy clouds
The rolling green hills that lazily stretch out forever and a mile
He's the sparkle of all the stars, the smiling man who sits in the moon
The beautiful horizon of a new morning awakening in wondrous full bloom
He's the peaceful darkness that illuminates all night time dreams
The sweet whispering music that blows gently in a warm summer breeze
He's the teacher of emotions, the grantor of hope, and the maker of faith's only son
The steps to all the churches that permit his children to blend together as one
He's the eloquent lyrics of inspiration and all that rhymes in ageless poems
The precious unconditional love you find in the heart of each and every home
He's the ruler of all that's fair and decent and all that's Heavenly and Divine
The master of the elements, the storms that rage, the golden globe that shines
He's the inventor of all that's earth and the inhabitants that ride on her surface
The hourglass of life and death, the judge of the reasons, the giver of purpose
He's the donor of his reflection, the one we see, we feel, that we are
The one who guides us every single day even when he seems so far
He's the constant pounding in our chest, a sacred trust we all can share
The unobstructed view to happiness, our Lord who always there
