the eye sees what it wants to see
it is beauty and truth that i seek
a flower opening in the morning light
a child's laughter or a dog's delight
at it's owners return home
i see the Master's hand in everything
wherever my eyes roam

the mind believes what it wants to believe
and i still believe there is hope
as long as there is breath
in all beings large or small
i feel closest to my Maker
amongst nature and it's
endless array of radiant beauty
and in the truth in the poet's pen

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Beauty and its persuit is something this world should do more of, then maybe wars would become a myth?

Thank you for your words.

This is true beauty, Faith. I wish everyone was as blessed as we are to see it this way. And, in Louis Armstrong's words - or is it Maurice Chevalier's? - what a wonderful world it would be!

Dear Owl-Thank you so much for gracing my page with your presence. Yes, it was Armstrong that made that song come alive, imo...love how he sang it at any rate...

it's always a pleasure to see you have been here...
