Is full of twists and turns
There are detours and temptations
Lessons each of us must learn.

And we never faced the bad
We’d have no real reflection
Of the happy times we’ve had.

Finding new solutions
Is balm for weary souls.

Than he knows we can take on
Remember following the darkest times
God provides a bright new dawn.

The Beauty We Miss

By on • ( 13 Comments )

Stop and smell the roses,
Smell that sweet aroma,
Admire the dew
on each crimson petal,
Simple pleasures
to let sink in and settle.

The beauty that you miss,
can truly be bliss.

Wake up to a gallery
of wonders every morning,
Marvel in every little detail,
it is ever so revitalizing,
In this busy world which we live,
we must remember one thing,

Slow down…life is for savoring.

– Duncan Hookey
