Thank God

Rowine Conley

I sit still at my window
The sun shines on the glass
It bounces back across the yard
And glistens through the grass
I watch a little bird in flight
The clouds crawl through the sky
I take my cup and drink it up
While petals on the wind drift by
Nature stands outside my door
The best things in life are free
And so I say, "Thank you God
For sharing your world with me."

Rowine Conley

Writing is not something I do--it's something I am. I have been a wordsmith since before I could write. I have now written 2 novels, 6 children's books, several short stories, and boxes full of poetry. I am now disabled but I still have a day job. I have 7 sisters, a dog and 2 cats (one has only 3 legs), A daughter, numerous "God-daughters", A son, and a few "God-sons". I am Extremely Biblical though I don't really follow organized religion. God is my life and I have truly been blessed-For God By God...Peace Out__Gypsy Row more…
