" I WALKED in the PARK "


I walked in the park today rather briskly
and to my delight within my sight
were flowers of many colors to please my eye.
There were vibrant purple pansies,
Bright yellow ones too,
White ones with purple centers
and orange ones with a brown hue.

I walked in the park today rather briskly
And to my delight within my sight
Were red-breasted robins
and a cardinal dressed in red
showing off the tuft on his head.
I heard them singing so sweetly
It seemed they were there to greet me,
And I smiled and PRAISED GOD.

I walked in the park today rather briskly
And to my delight within my sight
I saw a skittering, chittering brown squirrel
Chasing his buddy up and down the tree.
What a funny entertaining sight to see.
Then I saw a hippity brown hare
Hopping swiftly out of sight behind a bright
colored tree afraid that I would scare
him........I wouldn't dare.

I walked in the park today rather briskly
And to my delight within my sight
came down the rain, drip by drip,
drop by drop and I laughed for it cooled me.
I was becoming very warm from the brisk stroll
And I was cooled. Smiling from ear to ear,
I finally reluctantly entered my car
for the drive home and I THANKED GOD
and PRAISED GOD for the blessing this day.

Windshield wipers were on high
And I felt high
on GOD !!!

I marveled at the beauty God creates.
Each one an extension of Himself.
His Handiwork is good.

He fashioned us, each and every one,
in His Own Image.
