The Gentle Breeze

I awoke to a calmness outside today

It seemed the whole world had quietly slipped away

Only nature around me to view

Taking in the sight of the morning dew

Heard only the chattering of scattering birds

A croak now and then of a tree frog was heard

Breeze gently flowing through mimosa leaves

Gently swaying back and forth in the gentle breeze

All the brilliant colors that I can see

Stir up something that thrills and delights me

This nature all around me stimulates my brain

Causes my heart to skip a sad refrain

If you will always look for the good

The ugly disappears just as it should

The bad will always fade to the background

When you look at the beauty displayed all around
