Keeping Contentment

Although humanity continues to be enslaved to corruption, 
life's small pleasures seen in creation 
inspire a sense of wonder and awe. 
Nature's tenacity and resilience 
are ours to imitate.

Indeed, nature is resilient, Susan. It often seems man has lost his way (enslaved to corruption) and fails to notice the beauty our Creator has provided in our world. Beautiful write! Love, Carolyn
