PICNIC
by louis gander Under a large and shady oak and over the clover green, spread on a soft and checkered sheet of red and white was seen - carrots and beans and corn on the cob, melons, sandwiches, pink lemonade - wrapped so in nature and beauty around, I closed tight my eyes, and simply prayed - "Your sunshine brings warmth on these countryside hills, relaxes my muscles and takes away chills. I don't have each 'want' but I have every 'need - so thank you for every miraculous seed. Seeds that are tiny, so simple and crude - yet live by a faith that provides all this food - food from the bushes, the fields, the hive - so thank You for seeds that keep me alive." Nature seemed lighter, more vivid and bright - when I opened my eyes and thought, "God is alright." Copyright 2021 by louis gander. Poetry for sermons, story poems and more...
