This Is the Day!
A Celebration of God's Creation
Chapter One
This is the day the Lord has made,
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
-PSALM 118:24
Monday
This is the day the Lord has made
Tiptoe out into the morning world
and stretch like the deer
reaching for an apple
high on the golden tree.
Skip through the dew diamonds
glistening on the lawn
where the quail feed.
Tuesday
Clap your hands and celebrate all of God's creation!
Sniff the garden's sweet rose,
and your nose might meet a tiny tree frog.
Clap for the river otter who flaps in water
but waddles across the grass
through cottonwood fuzz,
finding his way from the pond to the bay.
