HOW BEAUTIFUL

.
 People will kindly remark:
 “How beautiful the landscape”
 I always thank them
 But know the beauty lies 
 In the shrubs and plants
 I had nothing to do with that
 And I, too, see the beauty
 What I do is provide the backdrop
 Hopefully it will be favorable
 The circumstances change at each site
  
 I have a soaring spirit
 Embrace the landscape
 I think of my immortal soul
 The backdrop I must provide
 For the beauty that I hope is there
 When my King and Judge observes
