Looking Across Windermere

The waters sparkle in the sun
as the breeze lifts across the lake
the yachts settle in their berth
looking out as it stands abrake

The skies show its beauty
in the morn revealing pastel blue
as waters show it's stillness
to be as creation intended so true

The ducks sail through the waters
creating more than a little wave
birds fly in the horizon
such loveliness one needs to save

Looking high up to the hills
shows the greenery of it's landscape
words can't describe such a picture
your eyes are bewildered by it's shape

The trees across the lake
fills your view with such splendour
completes the full picture you see
summing up the creator's perfect agenda

The agenda makes all things perfect
in the eternal God's appropriate time
showing His perfect sovereign control
making all things beautifully sublime


AUTHOR NOTES: Just some thoughts on a weekend stay on Lake Windermere on England's lake district a few weeks ago waking up from my bedroom window looking across the lake.
