God's Work
by William E. Woolwine

Majestic mountains reach to the skies
Flower filled valleys with butterflies

Mountain streams with water pristine
Blue skies with white cloud and forest deep green

Thunder and lightning, spring showers abound
Clear skies and sunshine and rainbows astound

Sunrise, sunset
Eclipse of the moon
Fireflies and snow flakes
And melons in June

All a part of the master's great plan
Created by God for the pleasure of man
