The Hidden Pond

Click on photo to enlarge

Happy Birthday Darlene!

1. There is a lovely hidden pond
that many have not seen,
with still and peaceful waters that 
are wondrously SERENE.
It has magical qualities 
that create a quiet calm,
as if heaven itself has spread 
a soothing healing balm.

2. Whoever is so fortunate 
to find this special place
will leave with a CONTENTED 
happy look upon their face
It is even more magnificent 
than you could dream,
for in the filtered sunlight
it reflects a gentle gleam.

3. Delicate butterflies 
of varied colors flutter by 
lingering near flowers, 
after dancing in the sky.
PEACEFUL fish beneath the surface 
of the quiet pond
silently observe the scene, 
of which they’ve grown quite fond.

4. At evening, if you listen 
quietly without a word,
the very CHEERFUL sounds 
of all the crickets can be heard.
Branches of the trees 
allow the crystal filtered light 
to shine by day, then blanket all 
with warmth throughout the night.

5. A masterpiece of beauty 
and serenity creates
a haven of tranquility 
in a most CHARMING place.
Cares will vanish from your mind 
and ever far beyond,
whenever you reflect upon 
this lovely hidden pond!

“He leads me beside the still waters. 
He restores my soul.”
Psalm 23:2-3
