God's Country

We ride along the creekside,
our bikes crunch on the path.
The canyon walls above us,
cut an awe-inspiring swath.

We're back in God's Country,
a place that we love so.
Of all the places we have been,
it's our favourite place to go!

We search the sky for eagles,
we comb the fields for deer.
The other little critters
run away when we are near.

A fisherman in waders,
or in a light canoe,
kayaks skimming over waters,
that beckon up to you.

In Spring, the blooming flowers
decorate the hills above.
In Fall the awesome colors
remind us of God's love.

For how could such a place exist,
without His intervention?
The peacefulness around us
is surely His intention!

We come here twice a year.
It's like a great retreat.
Where we commune with nature
with it's wonders at our feet.
