Jungle green

Rich, dense

With immense impact.

Boldness of colour,

Not a dream.

Jungle green

Will always seem

Adventurous, daring.

In no way timid,

Not at all retiring.

Jungle green

Seen vividly

In summer colour,

So dense, immense,

Intent upon being noticed.

Jungle green

Is truly glorious.

Never shy

But riding high

Victorious, it is summer!

Jungle green

Has there been

Ever a richer,

Deeper green?

No, possibly never.

Jungle green

Beams out,

If with voice,

Would shout

‘Look at us!’

Jungle green

God’s choice

For nature

Is certainly green,

Whatever the shade.

Jungle green

God made

Lime, olive,

Pea, bottle or reseda

A shade darker.

Jungle green,

Glorious green,

A sheen, supreme!

Sit, dream up

A summer scene,

In of course,

Jungle green!

Lord, You have made jungle green to be a most alluring, exciting, eye-catching shade. Thank You so much. As we sit and ponder the colour, help us please to think about You as the Creator of all nature, questioning: Why? For when we can answer this, we will realise what true joy there is to be found in Your presence. For such joy, I praise You. Amen.
