I Found Loveliness Today

I found loveliness today
Down along life's broad highway ~

Saw its beauty in the trees,
Heard it whisper in the breeze,
Listed it in songbird's trill,
Then again in flowering rill,
Felt its warmth in glad sunshine,
Rhythm caught in swaying pine ~

All along life's broad highway
I found loveliness today.

I found loveliness today
Down along life's broad highway ~

Beauty within pastures green,
Next in clouds of silvery sheen,
Golden glow at break of day,
Joy in children at their play.
Scented odor of wild rose;
Peace I found where violet grows ~

All along life's broad highway
I found loveliness today.

~ Carleton Everett Knox
