The speaker's mother teaches him to look beyond what he simply sees in nature and the world around him. For example, she encourages him to look at "the rising sun" and see God amidst it. Through the beauty of the flowers and trees, we can find comfort. In the morning, we can embrace joy. I love this view of life - to see the beauty beyond the simplicity.
I am also encouraged by the fifth stanza. Interpreted, it discusses when we experience the hardest of situations, we can still find God amongst it all.
Overall I found it to be an uplifting poem.

I enjoyed this poem for the same reasons. I love its encouraging, positive message that beautifully portrays finding joy and hope of God in nature.
ReplyDeleteI was also very uplifted by this poem! It's always encouraging to hear others tell about finding joy in the Lord during the best and worst of times.
