Beauty is in all around
take a delicate flower
its petals slowly unfurl
as the sun shines down

The colours and the scent
released for all to enjoy
the wondrous aroma
teases the nostrils

The butterfly lands
attracted by the nectar
wings gently flapping
as it sips in delight

Bees buzz lazily
they too will feast
then make some honey
which we will eat

Oh the rolling hills
ablaze with colours
the heather seems afire
different hues abound

As I look around
I feel so glad
to be able to see
and to be alive

what a marvelous world
the sound of the brook
as it cascades down
add harmonious sounds

I pause awhile
taking in the peace
the magic of it all
mother nature at her best
