To the Lone Star

I flew on a plane

For the first time last week

To Dallas, Texas

 

When we lifted off

I almost teared up

At the view of the world below me

 

Where the trees were green

And rivers flowed

Where clouds were fluffy and white

And rainbows filled the sky

 

I am so incredibly grateful

To see our world at an angle

Where I could appreciate the smallest things

And the large things

And all the pretty

And the lovely

 

Oh how happy I am to live in this world

What an experience. I've never flown, but my dad did, when I was a teenager. He's one up on me!
