On a brilliant fall afternoon, The gorge was aflame with color, That will be fading all too soon. People had come from near and far, To see this glorious sight, Nature in all her splendor, Showed a kalidescope of light. My words could not do justice, To this beauty You have shown, With majestic trees standing proudly, As if guarding Your heavenly throne. I could see Your touch in the water, With its rapids rushing along, As it cascaded over the brim, I could hear the angel's song. Seagulls appeared as soaring doves, Spiraling through the sky, And from the delicate mist that rose, Rainbows caught my eye. Looking beyond the great chasm, To the hills that framed this view, Pure white clouds formed a billowing robe, So clearly, that's when I saw You. Standing there with Your arms spread wide, On Your face a hint of a smile, Amazing the world with what You had done, Showing off Your flair and Your style. And once again You had helped me to see, What too often I tend to ignore, Leaving me filled with an inner peace, I will cherish forevermore.

Dear Bonnie, You transcribed the scene perfect!! It sounds heavenly and majestic. Through your beautiful poem I could visual the scene. Thank you for sharing, Just beautiful!  What a awesome God we serve. What beauty He gives to us. Can't you just imagine what heaven will look like after viewing scene's like this? Beautiful write as I'm sure this brought a even greater "hint of a smile" to His beautiful face. Marcy "Pure white clouds formed a billowing robe, So clearly, that's when I saw You.

Bonnie you always seem to render me speechless, or just repeating myself. I will echo all the above. For you do have a gift to sing his praise and bring the beauty of any scene across to the reader. EXCELLENT! <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. |
