  1. 1. A Gentle Breeze

    • By Laurie Swartzfager
    • Published by Family Friend Poems September 2011 with permission of the Author.

    As I sit here all alone admiring the view of an early sunrise,
    I tilt my head back and close my eyes.
    A soft gentle breeze crosses my face.
    I look around and enjoy the quietness of God's peace and the soft gentle pace.
