Douglas Ace Poet Rhyme

The Beauty Around You

Below the river water runs
looking peaceful from where I sit.
Sparkling reflections from the sun
cause wonder as I gaze a bit.

Autumn is come with the falling of leaves,
and the woods with their various  colored shades
speaks of the master design that God weaves
throughout the course of our days.

For if you look at the beauty around you,
you can't help but realize,
each day comes as a gift that is new
from the Creator all knowing and wise.

You have but to look to find treasure.
What I see roundabout me is grand.
All was put here for our pleasure
through His Wisdom, just as He planned.

Douglas L. Ace

Belinda Parish February 17, 2009 at 6:58 AM I know what you mean. For years I never really thought to look at all the surrounding beauty that God put here on earth for us to see and enjoy. Now a days, I see beauty in almost everything I see. All the handiwork of our Good Lord. A wonderful write as usual my dear Douglas.
