-god's Own Beauty- Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

-GOD'S OWN BEAUTY-

To mesmerize.....a state we're in
We spin these tales, believed within.
Lie to ourselves...that the more we have
In opulence....our lives we'll salve.

But what of all the simple things
Real joy and happiness, to our lives bring.
A simple sunset viewed from a beach
In calm and serenity, Our Lord will teach.

A smile, a whisper we hold so dear
No chaos there, no threat, no fear
So if you feel you need it all
Just kneel down...give God a call.

He'll redirect your priorities
He'll change your life from chaos to ease
So listen to His words on High
When wealth's web you want to ply.

And to your life a glorious view
Into your sight will then ensue
For peace within will then enlist
As God's own beauty..we no longer resist.
