Country Side
A Poem by GreenEyedPoet
 Written 7/2/15.
Miles of country side.
[Inspiration from taking a road trip] 
 Passenger seat
Laid back
Miles of
Green acres,
Blue skies
Covered with white smoke [End]

There is such beauty all around us. When we drink it in on a road trip, it makes for an interesting adventure. Great imagery here. Lydi**

It's as though God has opened the windows to heaven - and rays of light are streaming down to give us hope for a better day!

Took 4 because we were hauling a trailer and could only drive 55 MPH. And then we broke down the other night. Found out the trailer had a bad tire and literally could've come off at any time! So my dad was dad cause if that had happened it would've been a bad accident. So all my prayers asking God to keep us safe on the trip were definitely being heard! :)
