Another Day's Rhyme

Another Day’s Rhyme

I’ve seen majestic mountains on a celestial plain,
beautiful valleys with waving fields of grain.
I have marked buttes of red rock scraping the clear blue sky,
a view of the Grand Canyon that brought a tear to my eye.

I’ve seen the desert in New Mexico covered in snow,
the salt flats of Utah, and felt the cool breeze blow.
I have witnessed God’s beauty, naturally first hand,
and seen his many wonders that cover this great land.

I’ve discovered the true form of art with colors so bright, 
and stars far away in the darkness of night.
We are surrounded by beauty and touched by true love.
None of this would be here, without help from above.

I’ve heard beautiful words that made me smile.
We each get our turn for just a short while.
Appreciate these gifts and enjoy your time.
I’m thankful for all and another day’s rhyme.

Enjoyed the poem very much. I thought the third verse was quite strong and the flow was good. Some of the best I’ve seen in this country was in the southwest too. So much inspiration there for a poet. John

Indeed there is. For our vacation this year we covered 14 states in the truck with our dogs.
