Finding Beauty Within (And Not From A Bottle)
It’s time for Pensieve’s Poetic License. I intended to write poetry about faith and God as much as possible, and I suppose I still could have, but the rules for the clarihew made that a little more difficult, so I thought I’d write about two of the biggest blessings God has given me. The theme is May, which obviously houses the holiday of Mother’s Day. On that note…
My momma’s nickname is Gran’ Bat.
I know you’re a little shocked to hear that.
But she’s cuckoo for bats and she didn’t like granny,
And my mother-in-law already claimed Nannie.
Here’s another. May is also Hamburger Month. No kidding? Nobody love hamburgers more than my hubby.
Have you met my husband named James?
He’s really quite picky ’bout names.
Don’t call him Jamie, or Jimmy or Jim.
The odds of him answering are quite very slim.
To top it all off.. I’ll be spending Memorial Day with both of them.
Stop by Robin’s for more poetry!
Finding beauty not in outward adornment, but rather seeking the beauty of the inner self - the unfading and imperishable beauty of a quiet and gentle spirit, a spirit completely in love with Christ. Finding beauty not in acceptance and praise from the world, but instead as a child of the King. Finding beauty not in beautiful things, but discovering beauty in our beautiful God. Finding beauty not in self, but in God's creation and in others. This sort of beauty will never fade, never grow old, never wrinkle and gray. Quite the opposite, this beauty will grow with each passing day, as we grow in our walk with Him.

OOoooo, two are twice as nice!! VERY good examples of clerihews–your hubby and mom have to be grinning that they’re your muse today :).
And I agree…they are blessings from God!
