I lay across the dawn
with folded arms
tracing the light of day
only hues of grays and blues
my Ozark mountain hills
whispering melodies of praise
light floods my day
bringing landscapes up close
colors pour through an open
bright blue summer sky
I move forward
walking on
making it
and
knowing
I will always love you!
I spend my days
searching for moments
just like these
where we can hold time
in wide outreached arms
and open hands
that let our spirits rise
with the dawn!
