Beauty…

Beauty is seen
In the sunlight,
The trees, the birds
corn growing and people working
or dancing for their harvest.

Beauty is heard
in the night,
Wind sighing, rain falling
or a singer chanting anything in earnest.

Beauty is in yourself
Good deeds, happy thoughts
That repeat themselves
In your dreams
In your work
And even in your rest.

I spent several hours trying to go through old files and piles of “stuff”. I am hoping to move soon, and thought I’d get a head start on sorting through things.

I found this bit of poetry, written in my mother’s hand stuffed into a folder that I don’t remember having. I don’t know where it came from….but I believe it to be my mother’s writings.

I had a lot of smiles and a lot of tears today. Thought I’d share this bit with you – cause it was a little bit of both.

I’m trying to get as many notes as possible, come help out!
