The atmosphere depression has lifted
The inland sea is somewhat calm
I am surrounded by trees and dunes
The sun filters its golden light through the leaves
Dune grass waves in the breeze
My thoughts reach up to the Creator
The beauty I see is His manifestation
He has given us everything we need
Because of our free will we can accept
Or on the other hand walk away
I do not believe in walking away
He has empowered me to act
I act in positive ways on the fringes
That is where He said His work should be done
Everyone cannot congregate there
It would be chaos, so some must step back
Their help, my help will come in other ways
We will fund the front liners
Who persevere so admirably
While depending on our help in the background
The warmth of the sun is rejuvenating
It fills me with the certainty of His existence
I listen to the songs of nature
They come from birds, waves and the wind
They soothe me and inspire me
I am ready to meditate to the sounds
Other time ready to march to the upbeat sounds
There are no good reasons to be down
I have been blessed with the gifts of opportunity
I know what to do and pray for success
There is turmoil in the world today
We are all aware of the obvious
We do not hear much of the locust invasion
On the eastern countries in Africa and now
In some parts of India; the strife caused
By dictators in some African countries
Babies dying of starvation by the dozens each day
The horrible conditions in some of the Caribbean Islands
But they exist and so does our duty to help
After all He did say, “Follow Me”
