Beauty abounds everywhere we look,
God provided a lot for us to see;
Have you ever watched a caterpillar?
Or taken a close look at a tree?

God gave us brooks that gurgle,
And birds within a nest;
Flowers bloom across the land,
And a grassy knoll provides us rest
 

In the inky blackness of the sky,
God gave us a moon and stars that shine;
And if we are very still,
We might watch deer as they dine.

Then, of course, there are butterflies,
Dragonflies and lightning bugs;
There are lakes, rivers and oceans so big,
And little children to give us hugs.

 
Beauty abounds upon this earth,
God provides every single day;
But it is up to us to look around,
And see the beauty on our way.

I believe that God provided us with so much natural beauty because He knows our way in this world is a hard one. He wants us to have something precious to gaze upon and think of Him . When life gets rough, I can find God in nature and that often eases my soul. Take the time to truly look around you and behold the beauty that the Lord has provided for your pleasure.
