I saw You out in the yard Lord, As I went outside to mow, Birds were softly singing, While the squirrels put on quite a show. The grass was all a shimmer, With an early morning dew, As I looked around at the beauty, That's when I saw You. In the blossoms of every flower, In the bluebirds delicate song, In the glistening web of a spider, In the heat of the day growing strong. I saw You in the drifting clouds, I felt You in the breeze, I saw You standing sturdy, In the guise of those old oak trees. Yes, You were out in the yard Lord, I saw You everywhere, And oh what a glorious feeling, To know that You'll always be there. [This message has been edited by BSC (edited 07-26-2000).] |

This is right up my ally as I love to go out early in the morning and contemplate all the natural beauty in thankfulness. Funny how we work so hard to decorate, clean and beautify the rooms in our homes, yet always marvel at God's wonders in outdoor nature. Guess it kind of says something about our great efforts compared to His everyday gifts. Thanks for this beauty. |

Bonnie, I love reading your poetry. Your love for the Lord is ovious in all that you write, in all that is around you and in how you communicate with others. This poem is superb! Absolutely lovely. "Birds were softly singing, While the squirrels put on quite a show." |

Bonnie...what wondrous pictures you paint with your words. He is all around, and can be seen, felt and smelled as you say. I think I heard the lawn mower this morning! Linda |

Dearest Bonnie; I love how you see the spiritual beauty in everthing and everywhere. You are truly a magical poet with the wonder and joy of a childs heart. I'm so happy that you are a part of my life! Love, ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

I know exactly how you feel...sometime I go outside too and just feel God's presence. It is glorious, huh? Wonderful poem...it touched my heart! I really like~ The grass was all a shimmer, With an early morning dew, As I looked around at the beauty, That's when I saw You.  God Bless"Of all those arts in which the wise excel, Nature's chief masterpiece is writing well." ~Essay on Poetry, John Sheffield "Those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint." ~Isaiah 40:3 |

Bonnie, This was beautiful. What a lovely picture you paint!! He can be seen in all things if we just look for Him. Nice writing!! Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Bonnie, this is just wonderful. To perceive God in the beauties and wonders of His creation--But also look within your self to see God, for you have been fearfully and wonderfully made. God bless you dear friend as you actively practice the presence of God in your life. David |

Bonnie I love mowing the lawn! There's something about the top of the trees as the sun streams through, that just fills me with warmth and admiration of our Lord! Your heart is a beautiful one! You do seem to see Him in everything that surrounds you. I'm so glad that you share that with us! |
