Grand Canyon, Arizona, Usa

We are truly blessed with splendid scenery in this great nation, Overwhelmin' our senses with awe and inspiration! Visitors to such places may view them with differin' perception, And the spectacular Grand Canyon is certainly no exception! A preacher, for example, might fall upon his knees in exaltation, Praisin' and glorifyin' The Lord for His magnificent Creation! He'll be inspired to concoct a sermon for his languid congregation, That'll bring them leapin' from their pews in rousin' exultation! The artist, no doubt, will view it with a practiced eye and gush, About the masterpiece he'll create with his paint and brush . As he critically eyeballs the colorful vista so breathtakin', He'll exclaim, "Tis a marvelous canvas in the makin'!" The contemplative poet will ponder the scene and then, Create volumes of flowin' verse from his prolific pen! The musician becomes emotional standin' on the high plateau, Hearin' a symphony as the waters flow on the watercourse below! An old cowpoke might marvel at the scene and scratch his brow, Sayin' to no one in particular, "One helluva place to lose a cow!" From the rocky coast of Maine to the San Diego Bay, Ain't no two people gonna see things in the very same way! Robert L.
