The calm beauty of a sunset on a beautiful, painted sky
With big, puffy clouds softly floating by
A red rose in bloom kissed by the morning dew
Sparkling in the sun under a sky of blue
A long, rolling meadow of emerald green
With a light, fluttering breeze and quite serene
An ocean so blue as far as the eyes can see
With each stroke he painted far across the sea
The eyes of a child smiles with a tender caress
His gift to this world filled with joy and happiness
Teardrops falling from an old mother's face
He captured them all with sorrow and grace
A multi-colored rainbow after a shower of rain
A wonder of beauty only God can explain
The twinkling of stars on a moon light night
A measure of his power on a canvas so bright
A tiny, yellow butterfly fresh from its birth
A token of his love and a heart full of worth
A snow covered mountain standing so high
With breathtaking beauty it creates a great sigh
The song of a turtle dove at morning's dawn
Brings peace and love for everything that's wrong
I marvel at the tapestry so beautiful and grand
Painted by the master with a gentle, loving hand
His canvas of colors are a sight to behold
He painted a masterpiece more precious than gold

ReplyDeleteI'm hoping, since you're writing again, that it means you're feeling somewhat better?
Susie, this is one of my favorite poems so far. It is really a special one. Yes, God's world looks like a masterpiece painting, and I am taking in all these glorious Autumn colors. Teardrops falling from an old mother's face......I love that, and we sure do have sorrows as a mother as well as joy, don't we? And I loved the part about the red rose. It's nice to know someone who loves red roses as much as I do, Susie. You always speak from the heart when you write your poems.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.
love, ~Sheri
