Beauty of nature

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
a personal emotion everyone feels
of nature, wonder is so abundant
textures, scent and amazement always appeals

Mother Earth so cunning and versatile
each delicate detail so pleasing to the eye
from tall oak trees to a hidden rose bud
all living things look to the sun high in the sky

Each velvety petal slowly unfurling
tender little bud that explode into flower
revealing this rose in all its full glory
gentle to see, yet its thorns shows its power...
