Away from Home

away     from home
in     to glen allen
here     near richmond
where     the capital of old dominion
home     to eight presidents of the
united states of america.

i     accompanied my wife freny
who's     participating a conference
at     wyndham virginia crossings
hotel     and conference center
here     for a week
that is  from june 26 to july 1st.

what     a feeling
to be     free and
out there     away in order   
to be     near God and His creations
in     verdant mountains
with     tall and green trees
landscaped     lawns and gardens
and open     golf courses
with     blue and clear skies
cool     breeze and, yes
hot sun     brightly shining
over     a placid lake inviting
me     appreciating the beauty
of     Mother Nature
the view     panoramic and pristine
well-planned     environment
that is     conducive
good     and healthy to life.

away     from home
even     for a while
so     refreshing and liberating
exciting     finding Peace
within     me witnessing
to     the beauty and wonder
God's     grandeur and power
in     trees and mountains
flowers     and bees and butterflies
all    with Nature's delight.
