nature

Trees dancing in the breeze,

spreading bark and leaves,

I sit and watch nature’s beauty

It’s God’s gift to you and to me.

We live in a world full of beautiful places.

Why do we take it for granted?

Why do we insist on destruction?

 Are we just telling God we don’t love Him?

I really liked the thought process and theme of this poem because nature is taken for granted most of the time and people don't know it's true beauty. I wonder this too, I really liked this poem, great job! :)

I love this :D
I hate to see creation destroyed. Road trips make me sad.

This is so true.

Hm.. It is so true, though I am a buddhist, I believe that the message is still so important for others to know. "Why do we take it for granted? Why do we insist on destruction?"

42 years and the questions are still asked and thought about. I could probably go back even further but I wont bore you.

Nice write.

This is a great poem to remind people to stop and appreciate all the beauty around us. We need reminding of that...alot! which is sad. You'd think people would WANT
to see the beauty in life.

[Pencrafter]

This is a wonderful poem. Speaking of the beauty in nature and acknowledging our Creator it then asks the powerful questions in the final three lines. I couldn't have said it better myself.
