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
