Life holds so many precious things...
Trees that blow, the wind that sings...
The sun in the morning, the moon at night...
The stars in the heaven, shining so bright...



A river that flows so peacefully...
Children laughing and playing gleefully...
Mountains that reach up to the sky...
The all American "Apple Pie"...

A sunset shining on the ocean waves...
Stalactites and stalagmites in their caves...
Lilly pads floating peacefully on a pond...
The autumn grandeur of nature’s wand...



The drifting dunes of the desert sand...
The feel of raindrops in our hand...
The eagle soaring in the sky above...
A spark in the eye that turns to love...

A field overflowing with wildflowers...
The gift of friendship that is ours...
Each beautiful moment of treasured time...
Are God's precious gifts, yours and mine...
