FanStory.com - With Each Path, A Healing Prayerby Mrs. KT

<<<~~~>>>

I venture from my home today;
Warm sun shines bright; north winds blow fair.
I know just where to make my way;
With each path, a hopeful prayer.

Pure heaven waits beneath blue sky
at Miller's Pond; my soul's repair.
Down our steep hill, I seem to fly;
With each step, a grateful prayer.

Yellow daffodils now appear;
Of spring’s promise, few can compare.
They wash away dark winter’s fear;
With each bloom, a joyful prayer.

I note red robins gather ‘round;
They’ve returned early, which is rare.
Searching for worms in thawing ground;
With each song, a faithful prayer.

I soon arrive at Miller’s Pond,
Unmasked from worry's cold, blank stare.
I stoop to touch a lovely frond;
With each view, a calming prayer.

The pond sports turtles on fat log;
I wonder if they are aware
of their keen role in nature’s cog.
With each splash, a musing prayer.

Swift dragonflies dart in and out;
Scruffy cattails are everywhere.
Minnows and fish scurry about;
With each flash, a smiling prayer.

I watch as doe with fawn both drink
  from cool water with cautious care.
I move closer; they do not shrink.
With each lap, a trusting prayer.

The night draws near; I bid good-bye
To pristine beauty thriving there.
On homeward trek, a heartfelt sigh;
With each stride, a thankful prayer.

In time, I shall return again.
God's treasured gifts, I yearn to share,
For in truth, they can mend life's pain;
With each path, a healing prayer...
