Beauty may be discovered each day
On the earth, in the sky and sea.
God’s handiwork is on display
Wherever we happen to be.
From dawn’s early light and into the night,
Whenever we look around,
In golden sunshine or the moon’s soft light
Glimpses of beauty are found.
Open your heart as you open your eyes
To experience life’s best things.
You may find inside a pleasant surprise
In the peace, joy and beauty God brings!

Yvonne,
I love your blog and this poem. Thank you.
Thank you, Donna! No, I've only given my poems to others and in my books, never displayed any in my home! Thanks for that thought, though!
Thank you for your sweet comments, Andrea, Yvonne and Karen!
I don't think I've ever seen a flower like that. It's beautiful, as is the poem.
Very nice Connie. Thank you for sharing.
Helen, that flower is a pleasant surprise, isn't it?
I appreciate your visit today and your lovely poem and photo. Is that an orchid?
Another good poem, Connie. Inspirational.
And thanks for the comment on Family Fountain.
You're so right about all the beauty that God has give us to enjoy, if only we would slow down and stop to enjoy them.

Even in the absolute worst of times, focussing on what God is, can be, and has been will draw us out of the bad place and pull us into the goodness of God.

Hi Connie,
Thanks for visiting my blog. What a nice poem, and it's so TRUE! God's beauty is everywhere, if we'll just open our eyes and truly SEE!
Absolutely beautiful dear sister!

What a lovely poem; only from the heart of a loving Creator could such beauty be birthed...
Beauty in His creation, and from the words which flow from your heart!
