I know, I know
you’ve seen them before
they’re just tulips,
but no…
you haven’t seen them
like this,
like raindrops on an early morning,
closed up tight no longer
expecting
the sun
slight nod
of that gorgeous exquisite head
the soft curve of the stem
motion
in the wide undulating leaves
like
beauty and grace
combined
and the colour
no, you haven’t yet seen them
like this…
it is my belief, that when you start to see,
to see things of beauty
things, just ordinary things
become
so very beautiful
they really do
and for me
it’s the same with gratitude
and with
love
when you start to see,
you start to notice,
and as you do,
you soon
become
beauty
gratitude
and love in all things
especially … in yourself
the gift then comes
when you hear yourself
sigh,
oh my yes… ♥
