Jagged Rocks and Glistening Stones

There is beauty in all of nature In rocky crags and cliff edges In snow-capped mountains and low hills In mountain ranges and vast deserts In deep ravines and sun-scorched beaches

There is beauty in all of nature Rocks and stones; Pebbles and sand Sea glass and sea stones; seagrass and coral Seashells and marbles; precious stones and metals

There is beauty in all of nature Endless magic of vast seashores Beautiful treasures of the water’s edge Seashells, sea stones, sea glass, and smooth rocks Bathed and smoothed by wandering waves and returning tides Sparkling and gleaming awash with the morning and noonday sun

There is beauty in all of nature In God’s crafted creation Rocks and stones great and small Elements and metals Precious stones and incandescent jewels Hidden treasures in deep earth Of diverse colors, beauty, and shapes

Blue Topaz and Black Diamonds Green Emeralds and Red Jasper White Silver and Yellow Gold Pink Coral; Brown Agate and Purple Chalcedony

There is beauty in all of nature Wherever you turn your eye Earth, sky, sea, and land A veritable display of beauty and grace Teeming with life and form and strength Filling your senses and feeding your mind Making you at one with creation and nature
