Beauty

The wind in my face

The blue in the sky,

The haunting lone sound

Of the mourning dove’s cry.

The cackling of hens

While searching for eggs,

Wading in water

In a far-away lake.

Travelling through mountains

Oh, what a sight!

That cozy warm feeling

Of popcorn at night.

The smell of a flower

The smile of a child,

Irresistibly holding

My heart for awhile.

Curled up with a book

Swept away to far places,

Learning of cultures

And social graces.

The song in my heart

As the beauty unfolds,

The breath-taking wonders

Of blessings untold.

The Spirit within me

Leaps forth to rejoice,

Learning to trust

Amidst life’s woes and joys.

Beauty abounds

In all of these places,

We are blessed beyond measure

With His infinite grace!
