I WONDER

I WONDER

I started this trip of quite a few miles
Music playing softly, a heart full of smiles.
What I saw on the way driving north in the sun
Would be more than enough, to please anyone.
Seeing God’s creatures in the light of the day
Now hearing the news while traveling on my way.
So many things taken for granted this day, I can see
Makes me give thanks for this life that was given to me.
Becoming aware of shrubs and patches of flowers
All of it due to the Lord’s glorious powers.
It was created and given to us to see what we would do,
I’ve not done enough, how about you?
Every day in the news, I see, hear, and read,
of countries at war, of murder, rape, and greed.
As I ride along, through this beautiful land,
Knowing He can change it, with a wave of his hand.
Do we get another chance, I wonder with a sigh?
Might His next wave be one of goodbye?
