Reverie

 

To walk through rain-drenched countryside,

A field of daffodils,

Meander by a rippling stream

Or climb a wind-swept hill;

 

To find a robin in its nest,

Behold a butterfly,

Or sit beside a quiet lake

And watch a campfire die.

 

What trust such moments often bring,

What peace and faith appear...

When we, within our reverie,

Can know that God is near!
