We live beside a lake in south Punta Gorda. Each day we admire the beauty of the world around us. I was inspired to write this poem by the graciousness of Gods gifts.

Images of trees and grass lay mirrored upon the stillness of the
lake.

Reflections of sun and sky are transposed to quiet waters, as
lilly pads float like small vessels
on its surface.

Saw grass bends slightly as a
gentle breeze caresses its long
green blades.

Feelings of peace and tranquility
fill my soul, as I enjoy the
splendor of the scene before me.

All the world is alive and
encompassed in this special
moment in time.
