Beyond this Beauty

When I see
a flower blooming,
shape
and hue
and scent
combining
from a plant
so plain
and drab
to form
a sight
so overwhelming...
I will see
beyond the beauty
beauty
of the great Creator,
know his nearness,
sing his praise!

When I see
a kindly action,
human love
and true compassion,
humble living,
selfless giving...
I will sense
with thankful spirit
the Love that moves
our truest loving
beyond our loving
to know his nearness,
sing his praise!
