A Missouri Way To Live

Walking along a path through forest’s green, a clear running stream where I can fish. A porch swing to sit and watch nature’s scene, that is the heart of my Missouri wish. Strolling through a tinted meadow at dawn, the smell of wildflowers tickling my nose. Black-eyed Susan, Blue Stem, Prairie Clover, bright Coneflowers, Columbines, and Primrose. Filling my lungs with the syrup of life, spying the sun glinting between swaying leaves. Hearing the melody of a robin’s song, as it drifts upon a soft summer’s breeze. Feel the glory of a morning’s sunrise, as it fills the sky with a promised day. Wonder at the beauty of sunset’s glow, sleep sound and dream as worries drift away. Stand in silence atop a grassy hill, soaking in all that nature has to give. Gaze across the beauty of God’s workshop, knowing this is the Missouri way to live.
