T H E L A K E How I love the beautiful lake so free. Rippling waves ever relaxing to me. I can sit or walk for hours and hours on end. Talking to God watching the waves He doth send. Calmness in the clear blue skies above. Sailboats gently gliding in the sea like a dove. God's sun shinning as the ducks swim by. Beautiful birds soaring lazily in the upward sky. Long walks along the beach leisurely & relaxing. Enjoying God's creation, nature, & ducks quacking. Beauty in the many shapes of rock and sand. Creating beautiful pictures and images so grand. Night sets in with sunsets radiant rays across the lake. Night sounds as stars twinkle in the heavens for our sake. Fire flies darting swiftly by creating bright lights. The moon shinning full so we can see into the night. Thank you Precious Lord for allowing me to enjoy the lake. The peace, beauty, & wonders that you did beautifully make. ````````````````````````````````````` Written in THANKFULNESS By Clara Copyright August 2000

WONDERS OF YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK Awesome beauty for our eyes to see. Geysers, waterfalls, hot spots, flowers and trees. Old Faithful we viewed in awe and wonder. Spitting, flowing, erupting, as we watch and ponder. Rapids flowing in loud roaring or lapping. Waterfall beauty is rare and breath-taking. Geysers rising hot spots steaming. Beautiful varied colors pretty and gleaming. Animals wander lazily about relaxed and grazing. Unaware of many tourists, camera's, telescopes, gazing. Buffalo, grizzly, elk, deer, birds, and bear. Squirrels, marmots, swans, with beauty so rare. Mountains of every shape magnificent and grand. Hues of varied color, rock, earth, and sand. Beauty every where, peace, joy, with relaxation. Praise to our Lord for His unique creation! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Written in Gratitude By Clara Copyright June 2001

THE BUNNY Written by Clara 4-16-03 Every morning as I look out my window glass. I see the bunny sitting out on the snow or grass. Where does he live, perhaps under the deck, Or out back under the playhouse step. His ears stand straight up as the blinds are pulled. He is alert, some days I think he should wear a hood. It gets cold out there in the snow clad winter time. There are rabbit tracks all over the snowy ground we find. I enjoy watching our bunny each and every day. He eats, hops, and gets frisky as he doth play. I praise and thank our God for the animals he made. The tracks in the snow looks like they were in a parade. Written by Clara (copyrighted)

Autumn Colors Autumn colors so beautiful & bright. Our drive in the country was a delight. Golden tones, red, bronze, orange & green. Awesome varied colors, a beautiful scene. Driving along the country side on a quiet day. Made one feel like getting out in the leaves & play. The sun shone brilliantly on the many leaves. Causing beautiful colorful hues amongst the trees. Driving along Praising God for the beauty of His creation. Birds, colorful trees, grass, flowers, & all vegetation. Summer has turned into autumn right before our eyes. Soon will be time to pick apples for our apple pies. Thank you Precious Lord for the beauty you send. The lovely colors of autumn a colorful blend. Written by Clara © September 26, 2004
