God is real

The silent stars in boundless space,The wonder of a baby's face;The changing seasons, one by one,The wind, the rain, the shining sun;A blooming flower, a flying bird,A friendly smile, a kindly word—The things we touch and see and feelAll go to prove that God is real!And being real, He's present, too,And always watching over you!
