On Butterflies and Birds

Creation

By Edgar A. Guest

I never see a butterfly

Or hear a singing bird,

But what in some strange manner I

Am very deeply stirred.

Who first conceived the tender wings

On which it seeks the rose?

Has human thought such lovely things

To fashion and disclose?

O singing bird upon a tree!

Has ever human mind

Contrived to solve the mystery

Of how you were designed?

Man writes his loftiest thoughts in words,

And builds with brick and stone.

But dreams of butterflies and birds

Belong to God alone.

Just recently I had the opportunity to go to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido, California with my dad and some of our family members. Visit their website at  http://www.sdzsafaripark.org . At this time of year the Butterfly Jungle is alive with thousands of brightly colored butterflies from all over the world. Some of them are so intricate. There are so many beautiful creations on this earth. Take the time today to go outside and see what you can find!
