Beauty of a Soul


The sun sparkles On last night's snowfall A blissful wind Causes snow to dance The sky is a rainbow A rare delight To the bunnies below And to the wandering eyes Of a lone child Eyes wide like saucers She observes the grace Of the eternal universe Looking like the kingdom of Heaven Brought forth for her eyes alone A youth though she may be She can understand the spectacle And appreciate the beauty Laid out before her eyes Wandering through the yard The young girl feels like an adventurer Curiosity unabated by age And a weary heart Much like the blessing of a new day Her future is wide open And it's all there within reach She just doesn't know it yet But one day she will And her mother waits in the doorway Watching her child And her first steps into a world of wonder Knowing the true beauty of a soul Resides within our youth And that we must strive to protect our world For we are the gatekeepers Holding the keys to tomorrow In each soul we nurture
