Inspirational Poetry of Connie Arnold

 © Gary Strader, 2009

A garden filled with fragrant flowers,

Surrounded by tall, strong trees,

With leaves fluttering in a soft breeze

Can provide many pleasant hours;

The peaceful sense of beauty it brings

And joy flooding into each part

Satisfies a yearning in my heart,

As my spirit soars and sings.

Enjoying nature's beauty and rest

With the light of God's love on my face,

An awareness swells of a special grace,

Recalling the things in life that are best;

As a certainty fills me that all will be right

Since the One who caused all things to be

Created this beauty for you and for me,

And my soul overflows with pure delight!
