The Beauty All Around Me-Two Poems In Tetrameter And Pentameter Poem by Richard Lackman

The beauty all around me-Richard Lackman

I saw a bluebird fly today
Across the field, across the bay
And though this was a common thing
Somehow it caused my heart to sing
I realized in seeing this
All the beauty I daily miss
And so much goodness I don‘t see
I wonder what is wrong with me
We are so blessed to just be here
How can I forget life so dear

I saw a bluebird flying on the wing
And realized ‘twas such a pretty thing
How had I never seen this sight before
Have I been blinded to this and much more
I don't appreciate all that I see
As obvious as this is now to me
Oh God remind me how much I am blessed
Consider all my errors now confessed
