In the sight of a tiny lamb
joyfully bounding
across hillside farm
We see the Creator’s hand.

Creator God,
forgive our moments of ingratitude,
the spiritual blindness
that prevents us
from appreciating the wonder
that is this world,
the endless cycle of nature,
of life and death and rebirth.

Forgive us for taking without giving,
reaping without sowing.
Open our eyes to see,
our lips to praise,our hands to share,
and may our feet tread lightly
on the road that, together, we travel.  Amen.
