When my journey has ended for the day And I sit in solitude and rest My thoughts go back to my accomplishments Things that I enjoyed the best. So often I rush through the day Wanting it over as fast as can be I always take for granted The beauty around me I see. My peaceful little community How beautiful my garden grows Houses neat and tidy Such peacefulness everyone knows. The beauty of the mountains Where the streams flow free and clear Makes me aware of the blessings Of the sights I can see and hear. The smell of the morning ocean As the ships go sailing by Couldn't ask for a nicer picture No matter how hard I try. The church bell rings Sunday morning Beckoning us come one and all The lesson of Jesus awaits us That voice in our heart is His call. Life is such a blessing This message I had to share With all my family and my friends Because I truly care. © Ginny Bryant Used with permission Please honor author's copyrights by seeking permission before using this poem in any way.
