A Country Melody

The chirping of the red breasted robin sounded like a symphony The tiny finch and the bluebird sang along just for me The melodies tugged at my heart strings as I walked by I skipped along the country lane at least as much as I hid Gentle ripples rolled downstream as I cast a pebble in Each little wave carried my blues farther away I sat down at the edge of the creek loving it this way Yellow and white daisies lined the opposite banks I shifted my gaze to watch a falcon drift with the breeze I lowered my eyes and listened, the wind swept the trees I bowed my head, gathered up my heart, I prayed Oh Lord, provider of my life, I feel know everything is all right
