Sedona Outing

SEDONA OUTING

We're gathered in a little town
Somewhere in Arizona
The little town that got its name
From a lady called Sedona

A town that has a bunch of rocks
Like none you've ever seen
Along with trees with strange sounding names
Standing so lush and green

It boasts a national forest
Art galleries and fine resorts
And numerous national monuments
Attracting visitors of every sort

Folks come the whole world over
This famous town to see
With red rock canyons, splashing streams
And wildlife roaming free

The wonders of God's Creation
So awesomely unfold
Made for our enjoyment
Breathtaking to behold

Made by the God we all have served
For countless years combined
We now behold His beauty
Both stark and unrefined

Take in the sites of all you see
While here in Arizona
There's no place else on God's green earth
Like the beautiful town of Sedona

Lindsay, I love the greeting, G'day, which accompanies all your responses. This is the first time I have personally received and I appreciate your support. Your greeting reminds me, of Crocodile Dundee --- as if you haven't been told that before. I appreciate your comments and agree that the poem I wrote actually gives insight to visit and capture the beauty and, yes you see the beauty. It has been said, "Beauty is in t he eye of the beholder." I'm glad you have good eyesight. lol
