As I stand up facing the lake
I raise my hands up to say my grace
The beauty I see just amazes my face
One water United as it takes its race
I ask the lord to put me up high with the greats
But I know first off, I need to buckle my lace
Deep breath, as the wind flows in space
Sun Shine, it is time to pick up the pace
“No looking back, no need to look back from where I came”
Said the birds that flew over from where I gaze
Eyes blink at the emotional bubble within Bouillabaisse
I thank God as I go down to my knees
while I picture the killings, I thought of my niece
Why is it so hard? all we ask for is peace
Rain drops as the river flows with speed
Livestock smiles to the rain as they feed
Live long to see tomorrow is all that it seeks
Rain stops, while the butterfly wakes up from sleep
A true beauty that is unique with every breed
Nature blossom is a pretty one indeed
“worry not little one, in this life you will succeed”
said a Fox to his son as they walk by the stream
I look up in wisdom as I stand up to my feet
BooHoo Haha, like it is Halloween.
