How Beautiful

How beautiful the eagle

in rest or in flight,

and after all day

how beautiful the night;

how beautiful the weather

following a storm,

how beautiful the sunshine

so bright and so warm;

how beautiful the sound

of music to the ear,

and in laughter-not sorrow

how beautiful the tear;

how beautiful the first breath

as a child welcomes life,

how beautiful an old couple

celebrating being man and wife;

how beautiful the moon and stars

floating so free,

add up all these things and that’s

how beautiful you are to me.
