Life is so Precious

When I smile I see God’s face
in the clouds, proud of His Creation
regardless of my faults.

A caterpillar lobs his
legs forward, one scurry at a
time, hoping to
outpace any passing footprints

he’s a far distance from
woods where cousins remain.

Somewhere beyond the silhouette of
pine comes the trill of loons,
escaping into the breath of sky

and I love to dance these moments
within God’s Divine Plan.
