MOMENTS TO BE TENDER

I’LL REST AWHILE IN MOMENTS
OF TENDER LOVING CARE
AS ALL AROUND MY BEING
PLAY JOYS BEYOND COMPARE
LIKE FLOWERS WHEN THEY ARE BLOOMING
WAVING TO THE LIGHT
OR STARS UPON THE HEAVENS
SHINING OH SO BRIGHT
THESE QUIET THOUGHTS OF NATURE
IN ENDLESS SEARCH REMAIN
WHILE GAZING OVER LIFETIMES
WITHIN THIS TIMES DOMAIN
ABSORBING ALL THAT’S LIVING
TO BRING THEM FORTH ANEW
AND START ANOTHER CYCLE
TO DWELL BENEATH THE BLUE
THOUGH SUN AND MOON OBEY HER
SHE GIVES THEM ALL HER CARE
WITH GIFT SO WARM AND TENDER
THEN STILL HAVE LOVE TO SPARE
