I have missed the roaring rapids.
I have missed the gurgling waters
Which negate the other sounds
Like the cacophany of cars and trucks and planes.
The soothing, calming water sounds
Make me forget my pains.
I have missed the sounds of chickadees;
I have missed their delicate touch
Which always and ever says to me:
God comforts me very much!
