ONE MORE TIME



There are things I've done in life... I'd like to do again...
Old emotions being stirred... when I remembered "when"...
Driving through the mountains on my Harley... moving slow...
Autumn leaves burst forth with colors... making their last show...


Feeling sunshine on my face... smelling GODS fresh air...
Noticing the wildlife... interacting with "their" share...
Furry critters of all types... watch silently when passed...
The fluttering of birds take place... waiting till the last...


Twisting roads ascending... require I give them heed...
Leaning slightly while I turn... ride a steady speed...
Finally I reach the top... the lookout on the right...
Pull on in... kickstand down... taking in this sight...


Trees of every color... overpowering the view...
Every rainbow shade is there... every softer hue...
I marvel how the colors differ... from Yellow to bright Red
Standing in stark contrast... before their leaves are shed...


GOD arranged this spectacle... HE does it every year...
I consider it a blessing... HE'S allowed "me" to be "here"...
Although HIS wonders are repeated... the earth continues on...
It's sad to contemplate my leaving... one day "I'll" be gone...


But while I'm here... you can be sure... while I still do live...
I plan to savor all the gifts... that GOD has chose to give...
Natures only one of these... along with GODS great plan...
That we would "know" HE loves us... every single man...


Look around you... count your blessings... given while alive...
HE gave us this dwelling place... in which we all survive...
Things could worsen... or improve... enjoy life while you can...
GOD has cautioned... HIS own SPIRIT... not always strive with man...


Appreciation is the key! Be grateful for GOD'S plan...
Make you peace with HIM my friend... Do it while you can!
