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. 12/12/19 ~First Place~ Writing Challenge- December, 2019 - I Want Christmas Poems Sponsor, Dear Heart - Wiishkobi Ode

Next to watching women run and jump, I have always enjoyed watching them ride horses at a gallop. Thanks for the memories! Mele Kalikimaka! Aloha! Rico
