The beauty of the schist-y stone church
Beautiful too the Sunday Song.
The beauty of Nazareth's Ave
Beautiful too Bethlehem's Gloria.
The beauty of the cricket awake all night
Beautiful too the silence of dawn.
The beauty of the purple crocus
Beautiful too the pollen-laden bee.
The beauty of Aquila, Cygnus and Phaeton
Beautiful too the night flight on its way to JFK.
The beauty of the womb's conceptus
Beautiful too each person born.
The beauty of spring's greening
Beautiful too autumn's leaf-drop.
The beauty of the cirrus sky
Beautiful too the cloudless.
The beauty of God long ago
Beautiful too a present life in Christ.
The beauty of the weather's changing
Beautiful too a gentling heart.
The beauty of the icon's lamp
Beautiful too Venus at midnight.
The beauty of meeting a saint
Beautiful too expecting to hear God.
The beauty of eyes lifted to heaven
Beautiful too one's feet on the ground.
The beauty of God's reliable love
Beautiful too compunctive tears.
The beauty of the Divine Face
Beautiful too the I and the Thou.
Fr. Stephen Morris
