Beauty To Behold

Beauty To Behold
( The Minute Poem)

Of all beauty that meets the eye
Bright sunny sky
Reaches through earth
For all that’s worth

Flowers of hope continue to grow
Within spring glow
Beauty with care
Dainty and fair

For every green gift and grace
Shows nature’s face
All joy of sight
Suns guiding light
