The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Embracing Earth

Earth is spread before me each day,
Magnificent in every way.
By all the laws of God and man,
Rare beauty greets in a wide span.
As I arise to view it all,
Captivated in spring to fall,
It never ceases to amaze
Nor can I turn away my gaze.
Glory beyond my window sill.

Expectantly, I raise the blind
And sometimes rays of sunshine find.
Regretfully, I've over slept
To miss appointment God has kept,
His promise of a daily thrill.

gosh, Joyce. I am seeing this just now, but it never turned up in my contest. Did you write it too late to get it entered. It was sure a sweet one.
