It Inspires Me

My mind picks
apart certain things
that resonate
with specific rings...

I look at a couple
walking the sidewalk
staring into eyes
without a word of talk.
They gaze upon
the one they love
as peaceful as
two turtle doves.
It inspires me.

The skies are gorgeous,
so full of beauty,
so much so
they can lighten the moody.
They bless me with
ideas abounding
and thoughts of hope
and happiness surrounding.
It inspires me.

A mother talking,
a mother yelling,
she screams and screams
in the telling
but all the while
it's done out of love
and the care she has
that always rises above.
It inspires me.

I look around
just a bit more
for inspiration,
for something I can adore
when I step back
and see this gift
with which God has chosen
to bless me with.
I know I
can only choose
to put it to
the best of use
so that in doing so
I can put other's worries at ease
and, from Him, one day
hear it is me in whom He is well pleased.
THAT inspires me.
