What A Beautiful Day! Poem by John G. Nelson

As I sit & refresh by the road side,
Gentle wind blows, from side to side,
Swirling dried & siliceous beige sands.
Beautiful flowery trees waving hands.

Friendly grasses twisting, & turning hips,
Roses offer kisses, from their beautiful lips.
Creeping trees, resting peacefully in lawn
Birds sing & play as the sun gives it fawn.

For as often as I gaze the beautiful sky
Enjoying sweet smell, making life frisky,
Heart wonder at God’s divine creations,
My eyes behold the pleasant revelations.

Life has reason to rise, not pains or toil.
Merry in pleasantness, not heart to spoil.
Here, beauty sits for man to gaze upon,
That hearts, grace & mind remain open

As the Sun looks with beautiful, eyes,
Beaming bright with adorable smiles,
Rocks ‘re cheering, calling from miles.
Crystal Streams fill with smiling fishes.

Hundred of roses calling grace to sprout,
Songs of grace, peace, love, they sing out.
Gentle breeze with soft hands touching deep,
Whirling peaceful vibes, from every steep.
