Take my hand
Walk with me awhile
Down by the creek we will go
Watching the water flow
Listening to the symphony as it dances across the rocks
Watching as it twists and turns here and there
Smelling the change of seasons in the air
The trees now bare, grasses all brown
Mother Nature has changed her gown
Climb with me into the tree
Carefully now, as I often fall
Crashing down into the creek below
Soaked now from head to toe
Come on now off we go
So much more to explore
Through the field, past the blue berry bushes
On to the old swimming hole
Now filled with silt and sand from the last flood
Skipping rocks across the surface
Take my hand as we cross the creek
Balancing across a fallen tree
To the other side, what wonders we will see
Through the wood, not as empty as it seems
Squirrels chittering up above
Something else chittering down below, hidden from my eyes
Into the clearing , once so green
Feeling the wind caress my cheek ,its icy fingers a welcome friend
Sit with me awhile in the glen, just listening to the wind
Feel the calmness that surrounds
The sun, though weak, still warms me as it kisses my cheek
Stretching out on the grass, looking up into the sky
Watching the clouds float by
I sigh deeply
Wishing you were here....
