Birds Eye View

From way up high I wish you could see
All of God’s beauties surrounding me

Mountain tops covered in dazzling white snow
Sapphire blue clouds reflecting in oceans below
Carefree and gentle the rivers would flow
While animals are grazing happily down low
Colorful patches the flowers they grow

Orchards and trees
Butterflies and bees
Oh what a delightful scene!
Fields spread wide of emerald green
Silver sandy beaches and deserts all dry
All can be seen while soaring high

The hustle and bustle of the human race
How life passes at a rapid pace
Skyscrapers and penthouses towering high
Looking down, enamored eye   

Such a wondrous sight to see
If only you were perched on the ledge besides me
