WHEN COMPARING YOUR BEAUTY TO NATURE

Author: Unknown

The crashing of the ocean
The setting of the sun
The whispering of the willow
The way the river runs...

The way the eagle's calling
The way the panther leaps 
The way the stars keep falling
The way the hollow sleeps

In the golden of the daytime
And the ebony-hued night
In the brooding of the darkness
And the brilliance of the light

The breathing of a baby
The love a mother gives 
The sounds of laughing children
The life a father lives

These things are precious to the heart
They take the breath away
But they can never match the beauty
I see in you today.
