Photo From Signatures For You

~*~
Beauty
Is all around
If we will only look
We can find it within most things
In some things we may have to look harder
Still   is   usually   somewhere
If found, is put by God
For us to find
Beauty
~*~
Goodness
Within people
Most times can be found in
Though we may have to look closer
Some people build a wall around themselves
Trying to hide inner feelings
To avoid getting hurt
As in the past
Goodness
~*~
The truth
how we see it
May   be    differently
Someone else may not see the same
That is why people should  communicate
To find out the different  views
Of how to see something
Learning what is
The truth
~*~

I really enjoyed these, Ethel...

Part of being a poet is trying to find the beauty in life around us. I have been trying to do that more and more. If we keep our eyes open, there is beauty in even a common tree. (Is there really such thing as a common tree?)

“We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson

El_Campeador, I'm glad that you liked them.
Yes, isn't it amazing how poets can find beauty in such ordinary things as a tree? You're right, though, is there such a thing as a "common tree"? There are no two trees exactly alike...just as there are no two people exactly alike. I have twin nephews who are identical....in most ways. But, when someone is around them for very long, they can see the uniqueness in their actions...but also in their "identical" looks.

Thanks for reading and replying.  
Hugs  
Ethel

Thank you, Linda. Now, you are the "Queen", though.  

Yours are so full of meaning. I need to take lessons from you.

Ethel,

I will say it again...you have such a gentle heart and it shows in all of your writings, especially this treat for the eyes and the mind.  I am attempting my first rictameter this evening.  Thoughts are swirling through my mind right now.

Beautiful write!

Wow Ethel, it is one thing to bring these words forth from your heart, but to give them this extra eye appeal, takes a real talent.

A wonderful mix of design, and verse!

This is Special!


Very Nice Work Ethel,

Richy

(smiles) Oh Ethel, this is beautiful, sweet friend, I love the simple beauties of life and believe we could all be so much happier if we can all find beauty in all He gave us from the start! (kiss on cheek) May you always find joy in the flight of a butterfly and the symphony of the crickets and so much more, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
