friendship		 TEARS IN A BOTTLE COLLECTION
Caryl Ramsdale, American Poet
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. PSALM 1:1 KJV

CROSS THE MEADOW
To Camilla Rupe

Come see this lush green meadow
That looks like a well kept park.
It's abound with timeworn trees,
Clothed in thick husks of bark.
A breeze tickles everything here.
Breathe the air, it's fresh, it's clean.
Colorful, winged things wander,
Dainty flowers bend and lean.
White, puff clouds gather above
And travel a clear blue sky;
Bullfrogs swim 'round a small pond,
An old dog settles and sighs.
The soothing sounds of nature
Take one's mind off their troubles;
The natural world God made
Softens hearts and anoints souls.
If you need restoration,
Sit beneath that big, old tree;
And when you need an old friend,
Cross the meadow, sit with me.
