Notes About The Poem

Awed By Nature

 
"The world is charged with the grandeur of God."

                         Quote by _ Gerald Manley Hopkins
                                            (1844-1889) 

I look at beautiful nature and I am awed,
   And though my life has been one of sorrow;
   I always look forward to my tomorrow _
Though broken-  I have created a lovely facade.
Sadly, I have lived a life doomed to be flawed,
   But, I lose myself among bird echoes in a meadow:
   And within the peace and quiet of falling snow_
Oh, look at nature!  How can you not be aw'd?
