God's Thoughts

By D. Henderson

God has a thought for the maple, You may read that thought in the tree. Would you know His thought for the granite? Look at the granite and see!

His thought for the springing grass Is told by the cool, green sod; The rose unfolding its petals Discloses the mind of God.

His thought for the butterfly’s life Is writ on the insect’s wings; The word He spake to the skylark You hear when it soars and sings.

We think we are more than the bird, More than the tree and the sod— Yet say, are we living our lives As true to the thought of God?

—D. Henderson, in The Independent.
