"A Heavenly Gift"
by Nancy Julien Kopp
One calm and peaceful day
the hand of God
passed over the land
we know as Kansas,
this place where the
hills meet the plains,
where sweet prairie grasses
bend and sway
like ballerinas amidst
soft and gentle breezes,
then dance wildly
when furious winds blow.
The Lord God pulled the vast
skies close to the ground, like
a soft coverlet of blue.
He gave us air to breath so clear
the stars can do
no less than shine in
glorious reply,
through velvet nights.
Over these hills and
across these plains,
the Creator scattered
many hued wildflowers
and treasured trees in
all the right places.
His mighty hand
soars Heavenward from
Carved brooks and
streams alike.
With grateful heart
my prayer of thanks soars Heavenward
from this very special place
that I call home.Nancy Julien Kopp © 2000

Poetry is a wonderful outlet for the way we feel about places, people, or things that are happening in our lives. I like poetry because I love words and putting words together to paint a picture. You may have seen my poem, Granddaughter, on the Art and Poetry page. Stories I have been pleased to share with 2theheart readers are The Girls On The Bus, My Special Christmas Doll, Like Water From A Well, One of Life's Lessons, Grandma and The Tea Party, and Love On A Plate.
