AWAKENING

The sun climbs up the eastern sky,
Bringing life to a new day.
Rolling meadows velvety green,
Budding leaves are on their way.

Waiting pastures welcomes its herd
After milking time is through,
For it’s there they graze in comfort
In fields watered by dew.

Green mountain peaks have shed their snow,
A clear blue sky hangs overhead.
Nature greets me most sincerely,
I have nothing here to dread.

From my tractor seat this morning
I see a world full of good,
And knowing that time is precious,
These treasures are understood.
