True Beauty

A baby's first laugh
a child's first word
the morning's first birdsong
true beauty can be heard

the scent of fresh cookies
the fragrance of a rose
the fresh air of the morn
true beauty smelled as the wind blows

light morsels of bread
the virgin crop of wine
true beauty is tasted
in things so simple yet divine

the world from a mountain top
the sun-bathed scenery
a field of lush grass and flowers
such true beauty one can see

the caress of warm sunlight
the gentle touch of a breeze
the gentle lapping of waves on feet
true beauty is touched in these

such wonderous beauty only
God above can create
for us to take care of;
and appreciate
because of His wonderous love for us
true beauty - Love so great.
