Grand Canyon - Arizona, Usa

When something is: So big you can't comprehend So beautiful there are no words to say So impressive you feel you stand on holy ground So perfect people journey worldwide just to gaze upon its grandeur So endless the river will forever change it So colorful each day with the rising and setting of the sun So often tried but never conquered So old it will forever be this way So we know we are small and without Him really nothing at all So designed by God, a natural wonder ©Donna Jones
