I know of a place.............

where the tall prairie grass is pink..................

as well as some of the weeds...............

where bouquets of wildflowers are still blooming........

even though it is November.

I know of a place.............where the road curves

 to where there are woods where children used to roam and play............

in those woods, there is an old weathered mesquite tree,

where a family of woodpeckers make their home...........

every year.

In that same tree, this young pilot, tried out his wings..........

and then left the nest..............

I know of a place where a badger goes to sleep.......after he has had his early morning drink,

I know of a place............that if you look straight up at night with a flashlight.......

you will see a great horned owl looking back down............

I know of a place where the most whimsical creatures gather.................

and all of these.............

 memories gather and stay in the depths of my heart................

always to be remembered.

It's funny...........most folks think of heaven as being a place where we all float on white fluffy clouds in a bright blue sky.............

but I just know............

my heaven will be.........

 where a coyote calls out and serenades under a moonlit sky...........

where the wind tosses the prairie grass like waves on an ocean............

where at every glance there will be some creature staring back with the same amazement that I am staring at it with.........

this is the heaven I like to envision.

How about you?

What places do you know the secrets of ?

What do you imagine your heaven to be?

I would love to hear.
