For You

I want you to appreciate, things money cannot buy. 

For you to know God’s love, by gazing into endless sky.

The Earth is always there, and has nothing left to hide.  

See perfection that’s provided, and always look inside.

I want you to feel the love, in a fuzzy kitten’s purr.

For you to know the need behind, a wet nose morning stir. 

For you to have the green grass, in between your toes.

To giggle at the tickle, of a feather on your nose.  

I want you to see the beauty, of a horse mane in a gale. 

For you to view the gift, of life’s less traveled trail.

For you to spy fresh fallen snow, and know it’s time to play. 

To watch the morning sunrise, seeing it’s a bright, new day.

I want you to hear the joy, of a hummer’s beating wings. 

For you to hear a creek flow, and the timeless note it sings.

For you to know the clip clop, of hoof beats on the ground. 

To let your mind be still and silent, without any sound.

I want you to taste the love, in a meal cooked at home.

For you to sip crisp mountain air, that makes you want to roam.

For you to know the flavor, of tomatoes grown in season. 

To let Thanksgiving mashed potatoes, be a travel reason. 

I want you to smell the forest, after late summer rain.

For the aroma of a flower, to take away your pain.

For the fragrance of the soil, to answer all your prayers. 

To let the scent of animals, take away your cares.

I want you to be struck blind, by a superficial cover. 

For you to love a human, no matter preference, shape, or color.

For you to know good weather, comes in many different forms.

Shade yourself from too much sun, adapt to any storms.

And if your life does stray, from this poetic hue,

Please know that your Mom’s love, is always holding you. 

Life’s the great unknown, giving the reins can be quite tough.

But whatever you are my Love, please know that you’re enough.
