This Beautiful World

Oh to observe the world in all its beauty Just for a moment to ignore what is wrong And all we do that is wrong and all that should be To see to observe, to treasure,to glimpse and to embrace Flowers all their different colours shapes and beauty Roses, waterlilies, orchids, daffodils, tulips, sweet pea Glorious trees that soar way up, up, up into the sky Providing such beauty, shelter and home to so many Birds flying in the air, regal animals roaming the land Blue skies, sunrises, the gentle rain, the mystery of a rainbow Lovers embracing walking along a beach hand in hand Waves lapping on shore, blue lakes and gentle streams Waterfalls, flowing rivers, bushland, desert and cities tall Children so eager playing dancing laughing through life Singers singing their songs, musicians playing such sounds All around is such beauty all around is thrilling life Stars twinkling in the heavens, the moon shining down Paintings, movies, wonderful dancers performing on a stage Musical productions that leave us breathless in awe and wonder Young men and young women filled with youth and vitality Older people that time has touched, every wrinkle a life lived Smiling faces you observe that thrill you to the very core Sunsets that simply takes this mortal’s breath away But most of all in this wonderful extraordinary world I see There is you and this sight it fills my heart to overflowing.
