Connie Marcum Wong Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

A Heavenly Ride

A Heavenly Ride

I love to ride in morning breeze
On paths surrounding forest trees
To share the scent of pine fresh air
Where fine mist lingers in my hair.

My steed is white with soft gray nose 
We gallop on through drifting snows
As snow drops settle soft and light 
To make our Christmas spirit bright.

We stop to rest near mountain crest 
And view an eagle's flight to nest 
High above in a lofty pine
To dwell in nature quite divine.

I lift my eyes into the skies 
While bathed in colors of sunrise 
And I give thanks this Christmas day 
For all His blessings as I pray.
