Cortez, Colorado
Thank you for my adobe-colored home
tucked in a small Colorado town
not far from Mesa Verde National Park.
The mountains, mesas and deserts.
The cedars, pinons, aspens and cottonwoods.
Thank you for my new back porch
and beautiful freshly-landscaped yard.
The cozy rooms.
My green recliner.
The whirr of the heater on a chilly November morning
with the promise of sunshine, bright blue skies
and golden leaves aglow in
the afternoon.
Thank You for the expansive park system.
The Canada geese and ducks
The play grounds.
The two fountains in the ponds.
The Recreation Center and library
starting to open up since the pandemic.
The bustling
Main Street
with its
shops, movie theatre,
banks,
restaurants, grocery stores.
The various
schools and churches
scattered
throughout.
Thank you for the townspeople
and the equal amount living in rural areas
who are Hispanic, Native American,
White, Asian and Black.
Thank you, most of all, that You,
the wonderful creative artist,
shows up in His work.
