My Song of Solomon Love Song

As I looked out my window and reflected on all the beautiful things God had made and how much joy they bring me, I wished I could be as pleasing to Him as those are to me.  I sang a song:

 “I love you.  I wish I could be as pleasing to you as….

The beauty of a sunrise,
The fragrance of a pine forest,
The sound of a strong wind,
The power of the ocean,
The majesty of the mountains,
The sound of a Red Wing Blackbird in the evening,
The gentleness of a snowflake,
The gracefulness of a swan on a calm pond,
The warmth of a fire,
The shimmer of a flock of plovers,
The refreshment of a light rain on a hot night,
The charm of a new fawn,
The artistry of a peregrine falcon’s flight,
The quiet beauty of a crescent moon,
The grandeur of the stars.”

Immediately, they all came back in reply,

“To me, you are…

More beautiful than a sunrise,
More fragrant than a pine forest,
More pleasing than the sound of a strong wind,
More powerful than the ocean,
More majestic than the mountains,
More delightful than the sound of a Red Wing Blackbird in the evening,
Gentler than a snowflake,
More graceful than a swan on a calm pond,
Warmer than a fire,
More impressive than the shimmer of a flock of plovers,
More refreshing than a light rain on a hot night,
More charming than a new fawn,
More artistic than a peregrine falcon’s flight,
More beautiful than a quiet crescent moon,
Grander than the stars.

When you notice and appreciate these things,
you begin to understand how I feel when I look at you.”
