Beauty beckons us to seek her face
To find in her both awe and grace

She will not plead, she will not prod
It’s up to you where you will trod

She’s all around this world of ours
In hearts and minds, in streams and flowers

We hear her laugh as waters fall
She sighs as trees shed leaves in fall

She’ll meet us in nature, at work, home, or school
But it’s our showing up that makes wise or fool
