Made To Be Beautiful

Some days are made to be beautiful
                                They are made to shine
Not just gaze of gleaming sun
                                But for love that’s mine

The love of friends who share a smile
                                      A snapshot to recall
The warmth that grows from deep within
                                   As snow begins to fall

For joy in sharing wedded love
                                    A lifelong, loving day
Captured in a careful thought
                                      Safely tucked away

Love, so many kinds of love
                                        Love of life I know
Pausing, just to glimpse the stars
                                        As they twinkle so

Some days are made to be beautiful
                                          Memories to take
When looking back, so many days
                              I’ve been blessed to wake

Some days are made to be beautiful. Your beautiful poem sincerely made my day, Mike. I don't think anyone could have expressed that better. I hope today is one of those days for you. Take care, Shirley

Was this POTD?... Oh well, I guess you can't get it twice-in-a-row, or some such nonsense. I wouldn't mind if you did though. This is wonderful!! A FAVE for me. Thanks, Mike.

My Aunt used to have a frame on their landing upstairs which said 'grasp the love in this day, with both hands'. We must be thankful every morning and at night say 'thank-you God for another love filled day'. Thoughtful, honest words engulf this lovely poem. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
