                     Alive

What a glorious, bountiful, sunshiny day

With a sky washed in bright azure blue.

There’s a wisp of a cloud that is lulling about,

Just relaxing, with nothing to do.

See the oak trees’ new buds, still a yellowish green,

Inching out to achieve their full size.

And the breeze-stirring pine holds a nest in its arms

Filled with three little chirping young cries.

Feel the warmth of the sun flooding comfort and health

To a world that’s alive with rebirth.

And now pause to absorb what we share with all life:

Being alive! On God’s beautiful earth. —Peggy Ferrell
