Beauty...

by HOLLY ARMER   Jul 31, 2004


Laughter carried on a breeze as children play.
Eating homemade ice cream on a hot summer day.

A butterfly drifting lightly above an open flower.
A spectacular lighting show during a summer shower.

Sipping hot cocoa while watching the flames of a fire.
Looking into your lover's eyes and seeing desire.

An elderly lady dressed in her Sunday's best.
Watching a child tentatively taking his first steps.

A swarm of lightning bugs hovering over a field at night.
Feeling the wind as a flock of geese take flight.

Slow dancing in the yard under a star-lit sky.
Watching a sad movie just so you can cry.

Beauty can be found anywhere, in you and in me.
Beauty helps us through hard times, if we chose to see.

So focus on the good and turn from the bad.
Then maybe your life will be more happy than sad!
