"BEAUTY ALL AROUND ME"
There is beauty in a winter snow
there is beauty in the river's flow.
In the Majesty of a tall green tree
and in the tiny little bumblebee.
Beauty in a cloudless blue sky
there is beauty in a bird flying by.
There is beauty in the sharpest pain
and in a fast hard pouring rain.
There’s beauty in everything around me I know.
and beauty awaits me everywhere I go.
Beauty keeps me young it's true
like the beauty, I find in loving you.
The beauty there is in my children’s faces
and the wonder of strange exotic places.
As long as I can see the beauty all around me
I Know that truly old I will never be.
As long as you are there to hold my hand
I will always see the beauty where I stand.
There is beauty all around everywhere I go
and that beauty keeps me young I know.

I am 64 years old. I have two grown children and 3 granddaughters. I am a widow I lost my husband after 32 years of marriage to cancer 12 years ago. It was the pain of that loss that made me turn to poetry. I write all kinds of poetry. My biggest occupation is finding an idea I can turn into a poem. I have written 2000 poems and 360 songs and still writing.
