Often those awesome yet fleeting things That touch our lives each day; Reminders of the presence of God If we look at things that way. Iced encased branches of winter's trees, Or the pleasure in the sight Of spring's flowers in full bloom Caressed in golden sunlight. The reddened sky of evening As the sun begins to wane; The clouds that filter fingered rays Of grace through darkening plain. Rainbows after summer storms, The smell of fresh washed grassy lawn; Autumn's brilliant splash of color And mountains in the dewy dawn. Pleasant happy sounds of laughter And memories of a tender kiss; To hold your newborn baby child There is no greater joy than this.
