Imagine

Today I'd like to share with you a new poem that can be enjoyed by all, young to old! You can join me in celebrating not only the release of my new inspirational poetry book, Abundant Comfort and Grace, but also my soon to be released children's book, Animal Sound Mix-Up!

Imagine if days never had sunshine

Or if the night had no stars or moon,

If books had no pages, pens had no paper,

Or if a song didn’t have any tune!

Imagine if rainbows had no colors

Or if a forest didn’t have trees,

If birds couldn't fly, oceans were dry,

Or if with crackers you couldn’t have cheese!

Imagine if the sky was not blue

Or if the grass never turned green,

If fruit wasn’t sweet, animals had no feet,

Or if no variety ever was seen!

If we imagine a world without beauty

It helps us to be more aware,

To give thanks and praise to God all our days,

Treat the earth with much greater care.
