Hello Wendy,
what a breathtaking picture and a poem of praise to the one who has provided, at no cost, such a scene for us to enjoy. How can anyone, seeing such great beauty not consider the wonder of creation and the majesty and wisdom of the creator. Well done gal. Thanks for sharing this.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

    Thank you very much Tom. It was one of the most stunning sunsets I have ever seen. We spent four days in a cabin a couple of metres from the shore of this lake - it was beautiful, day and night.

An excellent entry for the Faith Poetry Contest. We certainly are blessed with artistic beauty from Him day and night and every moment in between with gorgeous nature. Such a beautiful lake. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you Marilyn. It was a breathtaking scene. We were staying in a cabin on the edge of the lake - breath-taking both day and night.

Very serene. Very nice - the picture you paint.
I believe that God is blessed by this attitude of thankfulness and your appreciation of Hiss handiwork.
Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you very much, Wayne, and thanks too for the good wishes. I am so glad you enjoyed the poem and the photo, one of many I took that evening. We were staying in a cabin only two metres from the shoreline of the lake - stunningly beautiful, day and night.

I knew you had a poem stashed away somewhere. Great picture. My son and his family have gone to the Azores for a week, so we have a dog, Zach, for a guest. Young Paul and his girlfriend are going to Nashville next week, so Sam will be visiting.

    Lol. My poems seem well hidden this year (I have only posted seven). This one was one of several photos I took of the amazing sunset. We stayed in a cabin for four days; It was just two metres from the shoreline of the lake, stunningly beautiful, day and night.
    Lovely for you to have Zach, and soon Sam. And they are lucky to have you too, somewhere safe where they know they are loved and feel comfortable. Thanks so much for reviewing.

    What a super review, Pam. Thank you so much, and also for the good wishes. We were blessed to spend four days in a cabin just two metres from the shoreline of this lake - it was beautiful day and night, and very relaxing.

Hi Wendy,
This poem reminds us how lucky we are to see such beautiful sights as a sunset over a lake. You describe the artwork so well with your poem.
It shows your faith and awe in God's creation.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

    Thank you very much Joan. What a lovely review. I am so glad you enjoyed this poem. We stayed in a cabin only two metres from the shoreline of this beautiful lake for four days. It was just stunning day and night - and very relaxing.

    I assume NSW mean New South Wales.

There are those moments when we study God's work - a lake, a sunset, the mountains - and we are overwhelmed with beauty and gratitude. I'm so glad you were able to take a moment to enjoy it.

A good entry for this contest, Wendy. Good luck:-)

    Thanks so much, Pam. We spent four days in a cabin less than two metres from the shoreline, so it was fabulous. Very relaxing and stunning views both day and night.

This is a very strong entry. The graphic and the overall presentation is very nice. There was a lot of emotion behind the poem and it float along nicely. I wish you all the best of going forward.

The photograph is beautiful as is this contest entry. Yes, God has created much beauty for us to enjoy and we often fail to thank Him for it. I enjoyed reading this poem and the photograph. Good luck with the contest.
