In Flowers and in Trees

by Lynn Barany
(Victoria, B.C. Canada)

We see it almost everyday
It blows now in the breeze,
It is scattered on the oceans
And is visible in trees.

It's there among the flowers
And in the stars so bright,
We see it every morning
And can feel it every night.

In a newborn baby's face
Or in the song of birds,
The music of the classics
And in a loving word.

Some days we think it's gone away
It is over, and is done,
But next day it's there again
Glowing in the sun.

We see it in our loved one's eyes
Or walking through a fog,
It is everything that's beautiful
It is the face of God.
