Even though I am nearsighted
I am thankful for my eyes
To see the beauty surrounding me
Sun, moon, stars and all that holds up the sky

I am grateful for my sight
That allows me to see
The beauty of God
In many ways and many shapes
People, animals, mammals, and all that graces the earth

As I lie down at night
Closing my eyes for the day
Remind me of the beauty I saw today

If you’re in the US, today is Memorial Day. Many people rest or have barbeques. Before you get caught up with your Memorial Day plans today, stop and take a pause.

For everyone else in the world, take a moment to survey the unnoticeable beauty around you:

What Do You See?

Look up and notice your surroundings. What do you see?
