Rolling hills around me
Blue skies above
I’m in a place
I do truly love.
My horse beneath me
As birds fly by,
Majestic trees…
Flowers catch my eye.
Cows on the hills
All around.
Abundant life
Springs from the ground.
An eagle screams,
Sun reflects off water.
I hear the laugh
Of my nephew’s daughter.
The beauty of Creation
Is unsurpassed,
God’s Peace and Love
I feel at last.
The joy of animals,
Of loved ones near,
Defines my life,
And makes things clear.
In the distance far,
Are mountains high,
And yet up close
A butterfly.
Peace for a lifetime
I take into my heart,
As we turn a corner
And home we start.
