"Beauty all around us"

My first poem I wrote today

God gave us the gift of sight,

but do we see?

God created beauty all around us,

 but do we see?

We awake each day,we open our eyes

There's beauty all around us

                                                                        But do we see?

Today I awoke, I opened my eyes

I walked passed the sun room on the way to the shower

But did I see?

Through the glass, the fresh new blooms of roses over the arbour

A tiny spider spinning her web,a trail of silver thread behind her as she worked tirelessly

I could see

A honey eater fluttered through the branches of the Abutilon tree

diving to catch the insects for breakfast

He stopped to drink in the nectar from deep within the flowers

                                                   A pair of Pee Wee's flew down 

                                           They settled on the edge of the mosaic bird bath

                                            the cool water shimmered as they bent to drink

                                                                     I could see

The sun just peeping through the clouds

Warming and awakening the little creatures in the garden

each of them looking for breakfast

I could see

Little buds on the jonquils bursting into bloom 

Their creamy petals with deep yellow centres

lifting their little heads to catch the warmth of the sun

Little droplets of dew falling onto the smiley faces of the pansies

growing beneath

I can see

The beauty of everything around me,I had not seen before

Gods beautiful creations

There for all to see

If only we open our eyes and really see

The Beauty all around us"

I hope you all have a lovely week

and enjoy the Beauty all around you
