Environmental Awareness

Four does cut through the cultivated lawn.

They timidly nibbled on the landscape.

One by one they slipped through the hedge 

and into the underbrush.

They visibly relaxed.

No longer on high alert, they formed a line 

and disappeared into the forest.

I, too, will go through my day 

reacting to and interacting with my environment.

I trust my Father to provide safe passage, 

as I listen and respond to His guidance.
