Salvation In Spring

Sunshine on my skin Warmth inside my soul Leaves brushing in the wind On this long and winding road Rapids unbridled in the creek Running wildly with the road It's not a race of speed But how far that we can go Like squirrels chasing up a tree Or dragonflies dancing in the wind The creek and road twist Upon each other every bend How far can we go? This yet I do not know For I stopped in awe of its beauty And stood there on the blacktop bow I skipped out of my shoes And rolled up the cuffs of my jeans Wading in the creek Ice cold water swarmed about my knees The March wind tangled with my hair Strands jumping like the leaves Had me laughing like a child My soul buzzing like a bee Bloomed wisdom like Spring flowers For there I did discover An answer to a question On that day I did uncover I was searching for religion But instead I found my faith It was there I laughed with my Father When my Mother called her child to play
