Air everywhere

Our world is round,
and all over the ground
is the layer of air
we need –
just the right mix
for us to breathe
and the plants to fix
the food that’s good

and high in this sky
the clouds float by
bringing shade and rain
to swell the grain
and give us a drink
so we can think
what a world we’ve been given
to live on!

Previously I have written two about water and one about fire:

Some things are symbolic to me Rhiannon, like water is love, wine is blood bread is flesh and earth. Light is knowledge. A rainbow is hope. Air to me is the Holy Spirit.

We have to protect nature as great treasure. This is very good you can do more of them.

Amazing! See you & Nolan

Thanks! Yes, the material gifts we have, and the great provision of this suitable place, despite the marring at present of some of the perfection, is wonderful to see, but also as you say reminds us of spiritual gifts and signs as well. Rhiannon

A lovely, carefully crafted homage to the elements. The cycle of life on our wonderful world. We really are lucky. Paul

Thank you again. It does take some work to keep something brief but pertinent, and to the point for children. Our 'home' is a very special place, creation. Rhiannon
