God is in the mountains towering toward the sky,
he walks in hidden valleys, he's in a mother's sigh.
I see him in the flowers that grow across the land,
everywhere my eyes can see, I see the Father's hand.
He's in the chain of stars that dot the cloak of night, in the morning sunrise and in the eagle's flight.
He's in the rolling thunder, the lightening that I fear, the patter of the rain and a tiny baby's tear.
He moves upon the ocean extending far and wide, and in its darkest depths where its many creatures hide.
He's in the crystal waterfall, the little murmuring brook, in the vastness of the universe and in the smallest nook.
He soars upon the wind, he's in every bush and tree, he's where I've never been and he lives inside of me.

This is really beautiful.. I like the way you point out the handiwork of God.. I was just thinking along these lines today and how nature is really God's sig(nature).

This is beautiful, Beverly! I like the way you pointed out that God was in both the things you liked and things you didn't like. He really is everywhere! Well done.

Skyshine,
I'm so sorry for calling you by the wrong name in my replies. I typed Sunshine instead of Skyshine. I really appreciate your very kind comments.

Great Poem. I like your impressions of God and Nature.
