Question/Answer

hOPE12 asked on 05/26/04 - A new hobby is it worth my effort Hello Experts, Can you please let me know if my new interest is worth my time and effort?? Here goes???? Life’s Bueaty Have you ever taken notice of what life is all about? Not the pain, not the suffering, not the hustle or the bustle, Not the stress or the panic or the lack of this or that. Life holds so much beauty If we'd only take the time to slow down and look around It's everywhere we go But so often we miss it and soon it's passed us by. We see the colors of the flowers that grow along the way But there's so much more to them When you look just a little closer; As you near them, their fragrance comes alive, The delicate petals, they cling together And yet they started so small; just a tiny seed. The trees, so green and lovely, imagine life without them? The breeze, it comes and goes, it whispers so softly. Have you ever noticed how sweet it can be and yet It can be as mighty as a lion roaring at its peak? The grass beneath our feet no matter how it's trodden It continues to grow, has a mind of it's own. The sun so far away, yet it's warmth so near. The clouds, ever changing; their design paints the sky Art in its purest form! By the end of the day, the sun does an encore As it sets below the horizon Such beauty, even as it says goodbye until tomorrow. Everywhere we go, wherever we look... Life offers its beauty, free of charge to us. But it doesn't end there- The day turns to dusk...the twilight fills the sky; More beauty to behold! The stars twinkle their magic, the moon changes its faces. Life, have you really seen it? Have you noticed lately? The admission is free...but still it doesn't end. As our dreams take us through yet another night And we awaken to a new day, it's there once again. The beauty continues... Have you looked, do you see it? Take the time; it's worth the effort... Which isn't really very much at all. Yes, how long will it be yours? Do I Have Appreciation? Do I appreciate the earth, the stars, the moon, and the sun? What about the miracle of birth, or running through the grass and being healthy and having fun? Do I appreciate the laugh of a child, Or maybe an answer when given mild? Do I appreciate the rain as it falls from the sky and do I even appreciate watching a bird fly? Do I appreciate the many things from God above, For if I do then I would know, He has given all these things to me out of his love. If I really appreciate the giver of these gifts, and all of His creative things, Then I would want to search and sift and find all the beauty of the earth and the joy and happiness it brings. And really if I show God my appreciation, I certainly would show my respect for all creation. I would also thank God for his gifts and his love, because I know he watches over me from above. Please be kind! Take care, Hope12 whitefawn_ answered on 09/25/06: It shows God, and all that he has created! Thank you Hope, for sharing this, it is beautiful. hOPE12 rated this answer
