High Spirits

Look around you everyday and you'll see God's gifts to the world...

I wake to see a sky smiling in at me,
a mockingbird sereanading a song...sardonically.

The sun's climbing above the red barn,
a Robin flies into her nest with a mouthful of yarn.

Old Farmer Joe's milking his cows,
a cat nestles between his legs...meows.

Mamma sheep wanders far from her young,
babies..ba-a...ba-a, cries for help has begun.

A young colt gallops to keep up with his herd,
scaring a gathering of hidden blackbirds.

A gurgling stream washes its rocks,
as our grandfather clock dongs...tick-tock, tick-tock.

The cook stove radiates plenty of warmth,
the sunshine brings life to the earth.

I look up into the colossal sky,
feel God deposit a radiance in my eyes.

I whisper to say, "I'm glad You are here,"
it gives me reason to have no fears.

"High Spirits"
Simply beautiful and so true.
Everyday we have such wonderfulness to be thankful and praise the Lord for.
Upon each new horizon..."Look around you everyday and you'll see God's gifts to the world...
I look up into the colossal sky,
feel God deposit a radiance in my eyes."
Awww warming to the soul!

Sincerely,
From the Heart of an Artist...

I whisper to say, "I'm glad You are here,"
it gives me reason to have no fears.
