The Field in the Backyard

The field in the backyard, so perfect so pretty!

If you stand in one spot it looks like your on top of a wave.

if you close your eyes & the wind blows just right, you feel like the wave is going to carry you right off & you'll crash against the shore.

It's Amazing ! you feel so weightless, a thrill runs through you, for a moment you're afraid to fall& then you feel safe, because you know our GOD is bigger than any wave & even if it dashes you against the shore you know that GOD is in control.

Someone calls your name & you open your eyes.

your realize it's just a hill, there's no wave, you won't be dashed against the shore, there's no shore, it was just your imagination.

the person calls your name again, you realize they're back at the house, away from the hill, away from the wave.

you take one last look at the field & whisper a promise, to the field to yourself.

you'll come back, your sure.

until then you'll store the field in your memories, & you'll never forget, no matter what, because it's magic, because it's peaceful.

as you draw your last breath, you see the field, perfect, unchanged.

then the pictures changes & GOD is waiting.

don't keep HIM waiting, HE made the field, the wave, just for you, He knew.

HE knew you would love it, HE designed it, every detail, every blade of grass, just for you!

as you grasp HIS hand, HE asks " so how did you like the field?"

you stare at HIM, then remember; HE's GOD, HE made it, He would know.

" It was SOOO beautiful! I loved every minute I was there!..." as you continue to describe every detail, HIS eyes begin to glow as HE remembers Creating every detail.

"yes" HE agrees "I thought all about it when I made it, I knew you would love it."

HE pauses to look down into your eyes " I made it just for you"

HE says gently.

"why?" you ask,surprised.

"Because I love you! and I knew that you would enjoy it."

you were told HE loves you, but hearing it from HIM makes it more

special, more real.

"I'm glad you decided to follow me" HE says.

"Thank you more than I can ever say!" you tell him " Thank you for

Dying for me!!! & thank you for the field."

HE smiles at you.

and you realize that you are here for eternity, but somehow it doesn't seem long enough.

So enjoy the "fields"! enjoy the "waves"!

GOD made them for you!

Because HE loves you! Yes !! YOU!!!

if everyone else was perfect he still would have died for you.

he loves you and wants you to follow HIM.

So don't keep HIM waiting!

P.S. there really is a field in my backyard, and if you stand in a certain spot it really does seem like your standing on a wave.

everything I wrote about the field is true.

I drew a picture of the field this September, my friend saw the picture

and wanted to know if I'd written a poem or something on the back.

at that time I hadn't but today after looking through my sketchbook

I decided it was a good idea and once I started writing I couldn't stop and I ended up with the story above.

I hope you enjoyed it.

feel free to send it to your friends if you want, if you don't want to that is fine. Thanks for taking time to read it!

about the author;

I'm almost 14

I enjoy being a Farm Girl

The Field is my quiet place.

I enjoy Riding horses, Ice Skating, playing with my brothers, bible quizzing ( GO KOST!) and a bunch of other stuff.

writing is NOT one of my talents, but every now and then I take a crack at it.

Drawing is also NOT one of my talents, but (like writing) I take a crack at it now and then.

Thanks for Taking time to read this

I was very happy to see her actually writing. This is a rarity and I hope it becomes a regular activity!
