The sea breeze caresses my face,
the cool salt water laps against my toes.
Seagulls shriek and glide through the air,
swooping down into the water.
I see the beauty that God has given us.
I look upon the towering mountain
and the glistening lake below.
Young ducks follow their mother,
intently mimicking her every move.
I see the beauty that God has given us.
The auburn and golden leaves of autumn
rustle and crunch beneath my feet.
A hawk hovers above me.
I catch a flash of her yellow eye.
I see the beauty that God has given us.
I lay upon the cool damp grass
and gaze at the night sky, speckled with stars.
I hear the low hoot of an owl
somewhere far off in the distance.
I see the beauty that God has given us.
The image of the young ducks following their mother "intently mimicking her every move" is great. I also really like the use of the refrain.
