Pleasing to GOD(?)


    Truly pleasing GOD, pleases people too.

If it doesnt seem to, you have some growing to do.

    or some better communicating, heart to heart and eyes to eyes.

You find beauty in what  seems ugly, if you are truly wise.

    Was GOD less careful in creating, certain parts of his creation(?)

Why are haphazard grasses beautiful, tho haphazard trees arent in my estimation(?)

    (except for the fascinating Banyan trees, what put down roots and spread).

I think leaves should be alternately or pinnately arranged, when all is done and said.

    After twenty-five years in South Florida, I yet feel this same way.

Am I too old to adapt well(?)  What does GOD say(?)

    GOD says:  Gambate!  Bon Courage! Endure!

Perseverance is a good quality.  HIS answer comes for sure

    sometime in the future.  I continue to wonder for now.

If beauty is in the eyes of the beholders, a lack of beauty in me must be how,

    I see a lack of beauty when I behold what is

around me in this environment---also a creation of HIS.
