Respite at Fernwood


Sitting by the creek

Fernwood sweetness

Leaves float by

Peace reigns

Joy floods my spirit

Hope rebounds

Life is good


*****

Breathing in nature's bounty

Seeing God's creativity

Feeling autumn's chill

Tastin' life at its best

Hearing the creek's song

Knowing the healing of solitude


****


Old enough to know

my wants aren't important.

Hopeful enough to hang

onto dreams anyway.

Smart enough to appreciate

all my many blessings.

Happy enough to die

with no regrets.

Faithful enough to accept

God's love.

Peaceful enough to carry

on a while longer.
