Frederic Parker Poet Rhyme

A Meadow Green

I'll walk a green meadow in vibrant spring,
to find peace among a world of the living
I'll listen to feathered creatures that sing
and be ever thankful for their giving

I'll capture red sunset with quiet eyes
and lay in soft green grasses with dreams
I'll watch the round sky where sun and moon rise
and rest beneath gold light of both their beams

I'll come to know peace in this green meadow,
from a breeze where silent movement is found
I'll measure the time when the heart beats slow
and treasure calm filtering through their sound

I'll search for the humming of a bee's wing
Find fragrance from each flower it can find
I'll enjoy all the life this meadow will bring
and find beauty that can open the mind
