Contest: The Physical World Around Us
Sponsor: Eve Roper
Date: October 1st 2026
With the beat of every footstep I feel a soothing appreciation. The physical world around us Sounds the lessons from creation... The elements beckon us to note That we must respect their place. The forces of nature hold far more Power than the human race! The iridescence that dazzles us On the most unappealing creatures Beckons an opening of eyes and hearts. Everything has beautiful features. The daily musical - the dawn chorus Beckons spirits to feel more light. While the birds sing their joyous song, They too have their fight. The tiny delicate flowers that grow In places where they do not belong Beckons a reflection on how our difference Makes us beautiful and strong. In the physical world around us Everything we smell and touch Beckons our considering that these gifts Come from a creator who cares so much. The joy and pleasure that we feel Beckons the question, how would life be If we could not see, hear, taste, smell, touch In a physical world - without sensory? For all the splendour of our surround Without announcement, without fuss, Beckons our souls to connect with and love The Physical World Around Us.
