With Beauty

With Beauty

Imagine the sun slipping behind a billowy white cloud,

Across the horizon of a field, you see a tapestry of blooms,

Smell the fragrance burst forth from the majestic spectacle,

As the butterfly’s float on the air, listen to the buzzing bees,

Wake up from your dream and let your soul be surprised.

Once you have seen this meadow, it will live inside of your heart,

You will be filled with the smell of early morning dew dancing on a breeze,

Before you, will be rainbow of colors, hues of an artist's pallet,

Memories that take us back to a younger age and keeps us alive.

This is what I behold with my adoring eyes along the way of life,

But as someone else observes it as a bunch of wildflowers and thistles,

My spirit lives free within the happiness of spring and summer,

Let the whole world rejoice in God's appealing delight.

Give me the flowers that unfold and blossom with bright petals that bring cheer,

I wish for this all year round - I would have a mason jar stuffed full of these,

Daisies, Lilacs, Buttercups, Snapdragons, Violets, Bishop's caps and Babies Breath,

I would surround myself with these and let them eternally bless my home with beauty....
