Analysis of beautiful things
We close our eyes when we dream
because the most beautiful things
in life are not seen--to wake up
and ponder what they mean.
The most beautiful things in life are not things.
Wondrous is the power of praise,
through adoration and obeisance, we
pray. We remove distractions and
move our thoughts to spiritual actions,
what a beautiful way to say our
praise.
Belief and trust in the unseen,
what does this mean? It's faith
in spiritual things and the need to
fulfill your dreams. That's beauty
above all things you see.
