Simple Beauty

Find beauty in the simple things,
The laughter of a child,
The wonder as he spins and sings,
His arms stretched full and wide.

Find beauty in the simple things,
The snowflakes on the trees.
Like tiny birds with dainty wings,
They rest from windy sprees

Find beauty in the simple things,
A twinkling Christmas light,
The simple pleasure each glow brings,
On trees dressed to delight.

Find beauty in the simple things,
A tiny blade of grass.
As boys fly by, he bows to fling
Bright greetings as they pass

Find beauty in the simple things,
The flowers kissed with dew.
They show their faces in the spring,
When God's green earth renews.

Find beauty in the simple things,
For then you too will see,
That joys of life, just as a ring,
Go around endlessly.

It's been a while since the inspiration hit me...life gets so busy sometimes. I have been spoiled by snow days here in the Ozarks, and the down time has spurred my creative juices! I also awakened this morning  and looked out my back window to view a beautiful scene of snow-covered trees. I felt as if the day was a gift from The Lord packaged just for me! Snow is my favorite wrapping paper;)
