This Lovely Day

I did not plan this lovely day,
                                         It just grew wings
                                           and flew away
                                        Its moments filled
                                             with many
                                               sounds
                                          As she turned
                                        her face around
                                Sunlight twinkled brilliantly
                                         Upon her deep
                                         and misty seas
                                     The birds aloft their
                                         joy-filled wings
                                         As nature lifts
                                     her voice and sings
                                      The Father smiles 
                                         upon her face
                                      This gem of jewels
                                       dancing through
                                               space
                                      Every creature joined
                                              in song
                                       To sing His praises
                                           all day long
                                I did not plan this lovely day
                                       It just grew wings
                                          And flew away

Thank you, Anisha, I'm glad you liked the poem <3 I'm trying to retain the idea of looking for the beauty that actually presents itself in most every day. I was so blessed to actually notice it on that lovely day! I wrote the poem to try to remember that if we look for beauty and joy; it's all around us if we are able to just rest awhile in the wonder of it all <3 Thank you for your visit, and sweet comment. Blessings to you as well, I hope you are having a lovely day! <3 ~BJ

Thank you, Belle <3 It was such a lovely day, I just had to write about it :) I'm glad that I could convey some of the beauty and peace that I felt. I couldn't help but think that if we could simply not be rushed or worried and just rest and absorb the gifts that the simplicity of a pretty day, how wonderful life can be :) I'm so glad you liked my poem! Thanks for your visit and comment <3 ~BJ

Amazing, I didn't plan this lovely day, it just grew wings and flew away.if we make plan for day it makes us nervous. So enjoy all days without more plan. Nice and enjoyable.

Thank you for stopping by with your wonderful comment Arjun, you are so right. The plans we make put our focus on things that take our attention away from peace. I decided that day, that I needed to write about the beauty of the day. Many days are glorious, the sun shines on the earth, birds fly, nature is filled with scents of plants, flowers and trees...but often we can't see them, we're too busy. I am glad you enjoyed this poem. I hope you have a blessed day Arjun, filled with peace and joy! ~BJ

Thank you dear Valsa, I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was a lovely day. I realized that there are many of them, most are perfectly beautiful! Mankind's constant rush takes away our capability to notice far too often. It was so wonderful to focus on the glorious beauty all around! I hope your day is blessed and beautiful, sweet Valsa! <3 ~BJ

Aw, thank you Vijay! I decided that it was a day of love, and love is far more than even the personal romantic kind that is celebrated on Valentine's Day. My sweetheart had to be at work, and I celebrated the day seeing the love of God just seeming to celebrate creations beauty everywhere I looked! It was a blessed day, and it was fun to be filled with poetry and the time to write! You are a blessing to me, thank you for your kind comment! <3 ~BJ
