Let me be content

Whatever way the wind is blowing,
The grass always keeps on growing.
Even though the day be gloomy,
The flowers are happily blooming.
Even though the sky be grey,
The birds in the trees are singing away.
Even though it may be raining,
Cows are grazing without complaining.

Dear Lord, from nature let me learn
Never Your good gifts to spurn.
Be there rain, or be there shine -
Let me be content, today is mine.
Let me be happy, simply to be -
Alive and well and Yours and free.
