Painting by the Florida Highwaymen
Take me home to where joy resides. I am most thankfuL
Here. My gifts bestowed by God are strewn like confettI
Around me! The salty breeze is like a warm blankeT
Nurturing my soul as silver stars are draped each NighT.
Kaleidoscopes of color reflected on each sea swelL
Shimmer and splash as a summer moon pulls the tidE.
Feathers of burrowing owls quietly grace my sighT
On my walks as a Royal Poinciana blooms regally near my patH.
Rivers flow like freedom to the sea and tall grass sways. I
Take a moment to watch my children play, and I soar IN
Highest praise to the Creator. He has given me an awakeninG
Enveloped in life, love and His glorious grace for all my dayS.
