Beauty

 

 

A calf being born,

Lambs skipping through the daisies,

Eight piglets nursing

 

A daughter walking

Alongside her aging mom

Calmly, patiently

 

Fields of wildflowers,

As far as the eye can see,

On a sunny day

 

A mama reading,

Holding a child on her lap—

Immersed in the tale

 

Poise and grace displayed

In the face of harsh judgments;

Peaceful demeanor

 

Gentle, kind nurses

Caring for preemies to give

Them the chance they need

 

A young girl playing

Bravely, refined, at her first

Recital—sweetly

 

Holding Daddy’s hand

As he leaves this world behind

For eternity
