Country Lane
I walked a country lane at dawn
After rain had fallen in the night.
Because my life was going wrong,
I felt the walk would ease my plight.
The countryside was coming alive
Under the rays of the rising sun.
Birds and squirrels began to arrive;
A forest chorus made the air hum.
Under my feet, above my head,
The lane teemed with pulsing vitality.
It moved me to recall what Jesus said*
About lilies and clothes and morality.
My country lane walk provided a cure
For much that was askew in my life.
It caused me to affirm all that is pure
And subdued my troubles and strife.
*Matthew 6:25-31
