Notes About The Poem

Breathtaking

Beholding the golden skies of each new honeyed dawn makes me
Rejoice to know I shall never bear witness to two that are tantamount.
Each time the flaming sun dips beneath the sea when setting, I am
Astounded and completely in awe of each breathtaking experience.
These daily interludes are the precious gifts of our loving Father.
His remarkable creations, in all facets of life are joyous to my heart.
Traversing the rolling rapids in the depth of the Grand Canyon, or
Ascending the heights to reach the crest of a snow-capped mountain
Knoll, there lays before my eyes all the new vistas I've yet to explore. 
I anticipate with reverence having my breath taken away even more.
New and wondrous visions will be restored to us on Earth one day.
Glorious and breathtaking sights that will surely take my breath away.
