Ponder Anew and Realise the Beauty Around

Beauty means so much to many people
nature in all its various types abound
walking in the sand along the shore
receive the waves with its still sound

The wonder of nature is so beautiful
taking a walk among the grassy park
watching swans and ducks in a pond
such elegance they show their mark

Squirrels are really amazing creatures
climbing trees just like in a flash
the grey ones are so very tame
coming so close such beauty so brash

Walking in the woods so green
especially as the leaves elegantly fall
changing colours so very beautiful
the woodland forever hears its call

What beauty abounds amongst nature
such grandeur of one's every step
many graceful creatures on sight
every teardrop shows I wept!

(This is written about beauty in my life and what it means to me.)

The Scottish countryside must be beautiful especially in Summer, but Winter must have it own beauty as well. So well described, creatively and lovingly. A wonderful Happy Christmas to you and your family Gordon, may you all be blessed. Hugs Jennifer

You are grateful; you are beautiful for you recognize beauty - direct from the Creator. This is an uplifting poem. Grey squirrels lines are special, because my late mom loved them on her one single visit to USA in 1993. They added (always) to my own US winter liveliness. THX for reading me
