Summer Beauty


  Summer Beauty

The loveliness that I behold

     So far beyond compare ,

The joy I feel within my soul

     Tells me my Savior’s near .



     I see Him in red roses

  That bloom along the vine .

I feel Him in the gentle wind

That sweeps the Summer pines .



The sky enfolds me like a glove

        Of magic azure blue ,

And I’m reminded that His love 

     Surrounds me this way , too !



A rolling carpet of green grass

 Backs up this breathless view ,

And I know for me that Heaven

  Will be in colors of this  hue .



As the sun slips slowly out of sight

       In its southerly direction  ,

I want to  whisper , “Please don’t go ,

Don’t end this day’s perfection .”

Jan Bagwell

God Bless !

Guide me in Your truth and teach

me , for You are God my Savior ,

for You I await all the long day ,

because of Your goodness , Lord

Psalm 25:5
