For The Beauty Of The Earth Hymn

For the beauty of the earth,

For the beauty of the skies,

For the love which from our birth

Over and around us lies,

Lord of all, to thee we raise

This our grateful hymn of praise.

For the beauty of each hour

Of the day and of the night,

Hill and vale, and tree and flower,

Sun and moon and stars of light,

Lord of all, to thee we raise

This our grateful hymn of praise.

For the joy of human love,

Brother, sister, parent, child,

Friends on earth, and friends above,

Pleasures pure and undefiled,

Lord of all, to thee we raise

This our grateful hymn of praise.

Everything in Nature Bespeaks the Mother

Everything in nature bespeaks the MOTHER.

The sun is the mother of the earth and

gives it its nourishment of heat;

it never leaves the universe at night

until it has put the earth to sleep

to the song of the sea

and the hymn of the birds and brooks.

And this earth

is the mother of trees and flowers.

It produces them,

nurses them, and weans them.

The trees and flowers

become kind mothers

of their great fruits and seeds.

And the mother,

the prototype of all existence,

is the eternal spirit,

full of beauty and love.
.....Kahlil Gibran

Happy Thanksgiving To All!!!

Love, Wanda
