Countryside Ride

It was a beautiful day for a spin through the countryside. I traversed over hill and dale astride the 40 year old motorcycle.  It purred along with a steady drone as my shirt flutter in the breeze and hair dance about my head. 
Past the vineyard on the hill, the barns and barnyard, over the bridges and brooks along the narrow lane I bounded.  Ranch houses, cottages and cabins…cats, cows and chipmunks…even a horse or two scattered the landscape.  A furrowed field and picturesque pasture were sights suitable for framing. 
It all made me thankful for my many blessings as I breathed in the fresh cool January air.

Thank you Lord for this day
And for sending it my way
It is with some regret
That it is you I forget.  

To thank you is such a little thing
For all the many things you bring
Yet I forget who is in charge
And that’s a mistake that is so large.  

Amen.
