Safe Haven

A strong sense of order, priorities firm,

The earth coming first, complete with its worm.

A house on foundations, a roof that sheds rain,

Seed for the fields, wheat, oats, and grain.

Water close by, a river that flows,

Pure and refreshing, inviting small toes.

Trees standing tall, for protection and heat,

The sun and the rain, daily food where they meet.

A place where all life forms run wild and free,

Birds in the heavens,

In their midst, you and me.

Gordon Bain, October 6th, 2008.
