"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

P.S. The painting of the adorable dog and broken flower pot is not of Bentley - I thought it looked like him also.
