Silent Beauty

The silence now pervades my soul and mind. I smile in wonder at the scene sublime. The silence now pervades my soul and mind. I wish to hold this moment for all time— The beauty of the flowers full in bloom. I smile in wonder at the scene sublime. There is no need for dustpan, rake, or broom. The roses in their glory make me cry— The beauty of the flowers full in bloom. I want to understand why when I spy Upon this garden planted by a man The roses in their glory make me cry. It must be all a part of God's own plan To show the awesome beauty He creates Upon the garden planted by a man. When I discern the plot, my thoughts abate— The silence now pervades my soul and mind. To show the awesome beauty He creates, The silence now pervades my soul and mind.
