Waxing Poetic Wednesday: Spring Prayer

SPRING PRAYER

For flowers that bloom about our feet; 

For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet; 

For song of bird, and hum of bee; 

For all things fair we hear or see, 

Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

For blue of stream and blue of sky; 

For pleasant shade of branches high; 

For fragrant air and cooling breeze; 

For beauty of the blooming trees, 

Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every Wednesday, I indulge my English Lit minor by sharing an inspirational poem. Share your favorite poem, it could end up on a future Waxing Poetic Wednesday!
