SEA AND SAND Now speaks the wavelet to the sand Boast not thineself of numbers grand For once the raindrop spoke to me The vastness of the surging sea Where froths the foam upon the shore A trillion sandlets, even more And each a growing glowing sphere A lumenescent pearl Now chides the sand in sharp retort I too have heard the rain's report Of mighty seas whose voice of thunder Rends the very rocks asunder Depths of emerald majesty And thou doest speak of power to me? Whispers now the moon from high Tranquility in a cloudless sky If all the lakes were seas ten thousand No beach nor lake would there be left Earth so poorer, of beauty bereft Exult in thine individual grace Reflections of thy Maker's Face Who teaches clear in words Divine: Contenment maketh life sublime "But Godliness with contentment is great gain: for we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry anything out; and having food and raiment let us therewith be content." First Timothy 6:6 Poem by Don Martini 1954
