Heaven and Earth

 

Images, vistas of Heaven and Earth in majestic array

Lakes, streams. rivers, oceans, wondrous water way

Rising and setting sun, colors emerge and blanketed they be

In the coming of night, held by the open sea

Mountains, plains, valleys, such splendor to behold

Each with a story past, present and yet to be told

Earth in its grandeur gifts of grace and light

So blessed be this day, so blessed be this night.
