Dec 2020
Honeysuckle blossoms, homemade strawberry pie
Lovely thoughts of summer, beneath a bright blue sky
Swinging on my hammock, in the summer haze
Looking up watching the world pass by, while soaking up the rays
Sipping on a julip, with watermelon snacks
Hoping for a gentle breeze, as sweat trickles down my back.
It only feels like yesterday, we had a foot of snow
How quickly nature changes, how little we still know.
We take the world for granted, expectancies are high
And when we don’t get what we want, we shake our heads and cry
Lower your expectations and except what life your given
Let’s do things out of love and pray our sins will be forgiven
It’s easy to do nothing and watch while others toil
Yet in the end we all return to dust upon the soil
Enjoy a rest if you earned it, breathe in a new day’s air
Find the purpose of your life, it's why God put you there.
