Water Skaters and Dragonflies

I watched the little skaters
Skating on the pond;
The little water skaters,
Frolicking, every one.
They'd skim across the water,
Then sometimes they'd glide.
On this midsummer noontide,
It was a thrilling sight.

Two dragonflies approached me,
Then circled 'round and 'round;
Their black reticulated wings
Ne'er seemed to make a sound.
O'er the pond my cares soon skimmed
Just like the water skaters;
Then like dragonflies in flight,
I "winged" home to my labor.

I basked in sweet serenity,
These moments at this spot,
Marveling at the wondrous sights
Created by our God.

~ Loise Pinkerton Fritz

Sing unto Him, sing psalms
unto Him, talk ye of all His
wondrous works.
1 Chronicles 16:9
