Let Me See The Beauty of The World
Let me see the beauty of the world
When I hear a new born cry!
As I see the sun shines,
The rainbow comes,
The clouds gently run...
Let me see the beauty of the world,
When I hear laughters of growing youth!
As I feel the caress of soft wind,
The gentle whisper of waterwave,
The tender embrace of raindrops...
Let me see the beauty of the world,
When I hear wisdom of old minds!
As I see their wrinkled hands,
Their eyes that are wise,
Their hearts that are strong...
Let me see the world and all its gifts,
As the sun sets and praise:
The Maker of it...
The LORD, our God.

REFLECTIONS OF
GOD'S MIRACLES
" I " to " WE "
" I " to " WE "
I looked out my window,
And what did I see?
Another of GOD's miracles staring at me.
Peaking through dancing shadows,
Coral flowers 'wave' at me.
Pink images bobbing in the breeze,
Create distorted ripples as on the sea.
My own private 'seashore' meant for fun and glee,
And splashing galore,
Casts reflections so ' fancy free.'
More than mere water trapped in a pool,
GOD's vivid beauty winks at me.
By day, a red sun,
Blue skies, white clouds,
Green leaves, pink blossoms harboring bees.
By night, a big mellow moon hides behind a tree.
GOD is full of miracles, but not just for me.
May you, too, catch the vision.
Revel in GOD's miracles along with me.
Whatever we share suits to a "T!"
Glance out your window, really look around.
Take time...you'll see GOD's miracles abound.
Again I looked out my window
And what happened to me?
Raising eyes toward Heaven, I changed
"I" to "WE"

It's Springtime
It's Springtime
It's springtime and I am in the mood,
For many great and wonderful feeling.
My soul is embedded with sweetness!
I am in the mood for this great season.
A Season of Wonders and Renewal...
It's springtime and the beauty of spring,
Reminds and beckons us
To stop and find solace!
To listen to the constant chirping of birds,
To smell roses and lilies in bloom.
It's springtime and nature offers great wonders.
The wonders of emerald green trees,
Branching out, with
a message of
Love, Faith and Hope...
A constant reminder of,
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow...
It's springtime
And our promise to our LORD is fulfilled.
As He commanded us to be kind.
To love everything around us.
Including this beautiful springtime and,
We Find Life Everlasting!

As Dawn Brushes Darkness Away
Ever so gently Dawn comes to greet Darkness,
touching, teasing, caressing,
blushing with delicate shades of color.
Then with rushing speed, she brushes him away.
Dawn secretively allows form and shape to be seen.
Bold silhouettes stand tall. Others float upon the sea.
Ocean waves applaud the action.
Glorious sun prepares to rise above it all.
Bright rays burst through openings in the clouds,
dance in streams above the horizon,
reflect upon waves moving toward shore.
A new day breaks upon the scene.
Victorious light has ushered in the morn.
Hush and color of newness afford breath taking drama
Quiet calm and beauty bring confidence and joy.
Reality of the creative, redemptive God, offers peace.
