A Wonderful World

precious is the rainbow arcing o’re the sky

precious are the puffy clouds softly floating by

and oh to see reflections on the stillness of a lake

there’s a swelling of the heart just for beauty’s sake

the scented garden beckons, roses in full bloom

the chirping of the crickets rise with heat of afternoon

the blazing sunrise then sunset colour glows all around

the honking of the geese as Vs flying soon southbound

blessed are the raindrops falling from the sky

lifting up aromas of a parched ground by and by

rustling of the winds amongst the leaves of many trees

grasses softly carpeting the ground with spreading ease

majestic are the mountains rising from afar

the ice and snow’s insistence their time is coming once more

rolling dry expanses softened by pleasant resting shadows

elsewhere there’s a flatness, steepness ending in mystic plateaus

the ever changing spectacle of the moving oceans

multi greys and blues and greens stir our own emotions

the great beauty of this created realm is a constant reminder

we give thanks to a wonderful world

we don’t have to seek to find her

for we are part of our world

wonder filled and full

of gratitude

for all that is
