Under the warmth of the summer sunthe world
awakes and
blossoms
into every imaginable colour.
You created a garden for us to enjoy
and within it planted the most magical
of flower and trees.
You needed no horticultural training
to plan your colour scheme,
no gardening expert
to recommend variety or design.
Your garden is perfect,
its colours harmonious,
its scale immense,
spoilt only
by the clumsiness
of those who tend it.
Creator God
who breathed this world into being
who is discernible within
the harmony of nature
the perfection of a butterfly's wing
the grandeur of a mountain range
the soaring eagle and humming bird,
thank you for this world which you have created
Thank you for summer sun which reminds us
that your creative breath
is still alive
and active.
Thank you for the
warmth of your love
sustaining this world
your garden.
