Descry These Gifts Much to discover on this lovely earth: behold the beauty of her rising sun, detect the rays that paint the waking sky, determine how her bright, new hope's begun. Discern the way our morning joy unfolds as life awakens with a brand new day. Espy the landscapes that surround us all and note their simple beauty on display. Observe the rolling mountains neath her sky; perceive their summer green or autumn gold. These scenes reveal majestic flowing curves; her art we see, before our eyes, unfold. We need to pause...allow earth to disclose how sights of nature's beauty feed the soul. Lead eyes to spot each view that clearly shows her worth...descry these gifts that make us whole. Sandra M.

Your last stanza impresses on us all the gifts Mother Nature gives us and how we owe her our gratitude mentality, spiritually, and physically for health and wealth. 'Feeds the soul'! Perfect! ; ) 7
