Just a little bit of earth
and a lotta bit of sky
long tree branches
sturdy rocks that haven't moved in a million years
a spirit of exploration
moments of "how-high-can-I-go?"
a little wind to lift us up
fast moving river to wade
and a moment to sit and just. be. still.
finding myself in wide-open spaces
leaning on nature
and smiles
and these lovelies
gets me through the rough spots
to look for bright spots
n' tender mercies...
that beg my eyes to look again...
always look again...
for better days and sunshine
these bits of wild in a wilderness
with their random bits of perfection...
reminds me
it was all put here
millions of years ago
for me and mine
to open our eyes
and gladden our hearts
because The Creator knew
we'd need to see His hand in the world around us.
