<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
To walk in nature is to say a prayer,
\n– though no words we utter
\nIt says more of thanks for Gods creation
\nthan recitations the faithful mutter<\/p>\n
Though churches walls I\u2019m seldom within,
\nand then often photographing
\nI think that I worship god better
\nby nature appreciating and at jokes laughing<\/p>\n
There was no church in Edens garden,
\nnor had they to pray
\nThey just had not to do the deed
\nthat they did that day,<\/p>\n
The good book says eating an apple was the sin,
\nMore like my dad said it was the pair on the ground
\nthat did them in !<\/p>\n
