Buffet Of Beauty ~Marge Tindal~ 1999 Before us stands a buffet offering, sent by God from above. He gathered the marvels of the world and brought them to the table of love. The beauty of the sun when it gently kisses the day. The falling of the soft, soft rain to wash our cares away. The grandeur of the mountains that come into view in awesome splendor. The valleys, lakes and streams their beauty to surrender. The fishes and the birds, the wolf and the gazelle ... caught in a moment of freedom, we are captured in their spell. The lush green grasses growing, new strength to be found. Struggling after each clipping knowing it will be mowed down. The sunset coming at the end of day. Time to put the beauty of the sights away. But then comes the night her own splendor she unveils. The moon, the stars, the shadows, their beauty I inhale. I sat at God's buffet table set out in awesome array, I gazed in wondrous amazement at the beauty He portrays. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *My wish for you is that you enjoy ALL YOU CAN VIEW at God's buffet. Happy Thanksgiving ~Marge~ ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Thank you, Isis ... It is no mystery, God prepared the buffet for all of us to see. What a view ! God has shared with us all ... time to share with others, his bountiful beauty to recall. A little bit of magic, that's just the perfect word. I think if God was listening ... he'd like what He just heard. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
