There are some days in nature when she just wants to sparkle and shine.
The colors of fall have faded,
which often sadden her.
So to brighten the days again
she bejewels herself in preparation.
She adorns even
the tiniest diamonds and crystals
to hang off her dull graying parts.
With pearls often crowning
her to give her elegance again.
Her heart begins to glow
knowing that God has brought her a gift.
No need for tears or being sad.
No need for a heavy heart.
His hand will reach out and touch
all who open their hearts to his gift of life and love.
God touches nature in a way that makes
here shimmer and shine
where once death was her only future.
She now is like a feather
whose lace wings have lifted her back to life.
Her body now flows with a light dance.
Let your tears be tears of joy.
Nature always reminds us even when
life gets dull and depressing
there is reason for for us to shine again.
So let yourself be crowned by God gift of life.
You will become that shinning star.
