I Give Thanks

I hear the Pitter-Patters as Drops drip & fall. Wet Cows moo in the Meadow. Damp Clover is cold on my toes. The Roosters Crow from Teir coops. Monkey Grass Paints my Ankles. Crickets Praise the LORD as I Spin. I reach into the dark Morning Sky. A Large Barn Owl is not amused with my Dance; He HISSES & Haunts at me on His Pine Perch. MMM Rain splashes against my body CLEANZING my Soul. Poor-Wills down the Magnolia Line Chant Prayer with Ground Doves under the Palms. I Open my Mouth; My Heart is New with HIS Grace & Love. I Give Thanks with the Frogs & Toads to the RAIN MAKER!

In the Holly Bush

sees one last Sparklely Star. Meadow Larks on Dogwood Branches & Orchard Orioles in the Peach Trees Sing GLORY ALLELUJAH to Our Awesome GOD! A Low Thick Blanket of Fog draws from the Woods in the far end of the Field. Two Tree Frogs Slap at a Tiny Grouping of Bright Orange Bugs with Their Long Sticky Tounges. Purple & Pink paint Gray Clouds as Sun Rays BEAM out of breaks in the Sky. Mourning Doves in the Big Pine & Cuddling Love Dove on the power line Chant Morning Prayers. Yellow-Rump Warblers Frolic in the Pink Cammie Bush. Sphinix Moths Tend to the Red Cammies. Deer Graze beyond the barn. Cardials Give Thanks down in the Holly Bush.
