Beautiful

Babies when they come to us, sweet and innocent.

Evenings when the sun drips colors from a blazing sky.

Any time that I am feeling perfectly content.

Unusually romantic tales and songs that make folks sigh.

These are things so beautiful that they enrich my life.

Illumination of the mind; my spirit sings!

Fields and starry firmaments, mountains, lakes and streams.

Unfathomable love, which helps  the weak sprout wings.

Love that saves the sinner and realizes dreams!
