Just sitting in the Garden,
loving every moment,
of this sweet solitude.
Soft breezes caressing
softly on my cheek.
Are they God's little kisses,
making me feel peaceful
and content?

Suddenly, there she is!
A huge yellow Swallowtail,
butterfly delight,
her beauty makes my heart leap
with wonder and with joy!
She's ignoring all the flowers,
and chooses me instead,
as if she wants to say,
"come fly away with me",
or maybe she's a show off,
coming closer still,
that I might see her beauty,
of yellow gossamer wing.
Instead I choose to believe,
she's sent from heaven above.
Tis God's sweet gift to me.
His loving way of saying...
"My beauty does surround you,
be you happy or dimayed.
I'll always send these beauties
to fill your heart with joy."


Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Sis,
  I shall never tire of the delightful visits to your beautiful garden of nature and praise. Gotta love them winged beauties too!

Ellie, Such beauty you produce from your pen. Absolutely beautiful!  I can only imagine, as you sat in the garden, how the beauty of ellie soared above all the other flowers. Your inner beauty reflects in all that you write and a joy to read. Love, Marcy

Yesterday, as I was picking my wife up from work with kids in the car with us, I had to just stop and look at the beauty of a yellow butterfly, probably a Monarch, amidst a patch of little purple flowers in front of my wife's office.  I had my whole family staring out the car windows at the simple beauty of God's marvelous creature.  I can certainly understand how this poem was inspired.  I love those beauties that God sends our way... God Bless You,  Bob <><

Ah the serenity of Love's Garden.
Ah the beauties of  God's comforting assurances,
Ah the beauty of your glorious poetry-
To be it can only be rightfully, and especially described by one word--and that word is : ELLIE-QUENT!!!

I think that says it all! Thank you for so beautifully gracing our lives. David font>

Ahhhhh Ellie this brought a smile to my heart this morning.  His little reminders touch us in so many ways, and the beauty with which you write of them is so awesome.  Bonnie
