Seven Wonders.

Goldfinch60



We have all heard of them,

The seven wonders of the world,

The seven wonders of the Ancient World.

The Great Pyramid of Giza,

The Colossus of Rhodes,

The Lighthouse of Alexandria,

The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus,

The Temple of Artemis,

The Statue of Zeus,

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon,

But only the Great Pyramid of Giza survives.

 

We do have another seven wonders,

Seven wonders of the world

That are with us all the time

And should be truly appreciated.

To see,

To see the world of love that is with us.

To hear,

To hear the wonder of our world,

Natures symphony playing for us.

To touch,

To touch the things around us

And feel the wonder within them.

To taste,

To taste the good things

That we put in our mouths.

To feel,

To feel the glory that others give,

Give us to lift our lives.

To laugh,

To laugh at and with each other

Bringing such healing to our lives.

And lastly to love,

To love all around us

And bring peace to our world.

If we all love each other

Our world would be healed,

And life would be so good.

 

So just remember,

Remember they are still there,

The seven wonders exist,

Exist within our minds and bodies

And should be shown to all.

    Good write Gold.
    Ohh, you and I saw all of the original seven wonders in person. Did we help build the pyramids?

    • Goldfinch60

      I was supervising the building of the pyramids in my job as a time and motion officer.

      (I was work study officer for a while in a local council. LOL)

            Join our nuttiness at times, Verona. Or might be always! lol.

          • evenwheniLie

            I doubt that.

            • Goldfinch60

              What are you doubting, my words or Orchidee's comment?

              Well I guess I'm the awkward one because the biggest 'wonder' of them all for me is our heartbeat. That throbbing in the chest of every living being. What is this amazing life giving pulse we take for granted.
              It's my supreme wonder and without it - we are nought. We may be able to bring it back sometimes but we cannot create it other than to procreate, which in itself is another wonderful thing.

                So true d a, but love is an integral part of our heart.

                An uplifting read, Andy. On a sunny morning in NY over coffee.

                • Goldfinch60

                  Thank you John, I hope you enjoyed your coffee, I always do.

                    A beautiful write Andy. Yes, if everyone could love one another it would heal the world of all negativities. 🙂
