Familiar Fields

These fields are all so known to me.
There's no surprise or mystery.
Each grove of trees, each dip and swell,
I know them all so very well.

I can at will, call up to mind,
Each spot where waters gleam and wind.
Just how they look in spring or fall.
Each season's picture, I recall.

But yet, there is no boredom here.
Their very sameness I hold dear.
There's something comforting, I'd say,
In things unchanged, from day to day!

Betty; truly a poem of peace and restful assurance that God's gift of nature is always constant. Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
