Regal

What things are noble? What things seem stately? 

What do we admire the splendor of greatly? 

The Lincoln Memorial; Mount Everest's peak;

An eagle so majestic we hardly can speak;

Queen Elizabeth, diva of unmatched poise;

The stealthy, svelte feline, who sneaks without noise;

Red-clad, royal foot guards, who stand as if stone;

The powerful force of a storm that has grown;

A classy song diva who gives it her all;

The trees' robes of orange we see in the fall;

A ballet performer, who moves with such grace;

A swan gently gliding at an unhurried pace;

A butterfly waltzing on air, with aplomb;

A giant harp's heavenly sound with each strum.

Whatever's most regal to you is your call,

But truthfully...God is most regal of all.
