My Father Gave Me Nature

My Father in heaven created nature.
My Father on earth taught me to
see, respect and love it.
When we were children my dad always
took our family out camping in nature.
From mountain tops to rivers, to lakes, ocean beaches
and everything in between, he took us where we
learned to fish, swim and hike without fear, but most important to respect God’s creation of nature.

My dad showed me
what God had created for us.

From the small world of creatures
that are often not seen.

To the large ones that can be so elusive.

To scenic landscapes that one learns
always to view filled with awe.

My dad shared with me
all that nature had to
offer when I was growing up.

I learned to see all the details
God had created for us.

My dad taught me how to feel the
colors and moods that nature presented.

To walk with my eyes open
taking in all of natures wonders.

family is and how we should always stay close.

To my Father in Heaven and my Father on earth.
I thank you for your gift of nature
and your gift of love.

I wish you my dad and all fathers
a Happy Fathers Day
where you are surrounded by nature
in some way.

Whatever it is to you.
