POEM by Daniel E. Shea
Slice of Heaven Cabin, I see the mountain tops kissing the sky,
And I see God's creation and wonder how and why

The valley's glorious panoramic view unfolds below,
Partially covered in white gauzy clouds, an amazing soft tableau.

As the Bumblebees busily buzz happy and carefree.
While hummingbirds dart in and out feasting on rose red flower honey,

I listen to the sound of the rain's pitter patter and the rolling thunder that is God's symphony,
And, ponder the thought of this world in perfect harmony,

The evergreen trees swaying in the cool breeze in a gentle dance,
Everywhere is God's rays of light and the sunbeam's glance.

As the sun peeks over the mountain with golden light,
Bringing warmth and dispelling the cold air night,

I can feel a soothing mountain misty balm,
That surrounds my spirit and soothes my soul in calm,

The church bells chime, and their sound is so pious,
And, I sing out, Glory to God in the highest,

In this serene retreat, my worries cease,
In the mountains embrace, I find my peace,

Oh, how the world seems perfect from this height,
A slice of heaven bathed in morning light,
Here, at the cabin, my soul takes its rest,
For in this tranquil moment, I'm truly blessed.

That surrounds my spirit and soothes my soul in calm,

The above gift of love was unsolicited but rings of essence of how Robin and I feel each and every time we stay at our mountain hideaway.
