As The Wind Blows

This is a poem I wrote while watching a rain storm.

Tree tops being tossed around in the wind, rolling back and forth, the wind testing their very strength. At times they roll peacefully like tall grass and I feel relaxed watching them. But at other times they are being thrashed around like the wild waves of the sea. Sometimes I feel as if I am amongst them being tossed around as they are.
The wild, wild wind swirling stray leaves through the air while the trees limbs bend after them begging for their return.
Can you imagine being a tree? Can you imagine the stories you would have, the feeling you would have of being thrown around in the breeze. What an adventure that would be.

The second to last photo is the spider web from the last post I just fiddled with it a bit. The rest of the photos are from the storm we had in the beginning of the summer.:)

Enjoy:)

The first picture is our road. The second is our neighbors lawn. The third is a spider web on our porch.

The Peaceful Life of a Country Kid


Ok so I was at a friends house for a party and most of the people there were adults that I didn't know. So I went on a walk by myself and wrote this in my diary.
The pictures are pictures of my friends property:)



Dear Diary,
The peaceful life of a country kid.
Right now I am sitting on a bench by the creek at Chrissy's house.
Just sitting and listening to the sounds of the peaceful gurgling creek. The suns rays glistening like diamonds on the surface. The sweet smell of fresh water. The cool breeze gentaly blowing on my face.
I could sit here for hours just thinking, thoughts from my past and thinking about my future.
My mind wanders as far as the heavens. I can't help but let it.
The beautiful purple flowers pop out from the luscious green grass, the butterflies Pirouetting across the land.
I can't help but wonder if God has a place for me like this in Heaven. If he does...well then...you'll know where I'll be. :)


God created the Heavens and the Earth. What a beautiful Earth he made for me!
