Solid Ground

I never notice
Stepping onto the shore
After a day on the lake
In my canoe

But after a night on the sea
In hurricane storms
I fall to my knees
Clutch the grass in my hands
Press my face to the dirt
And thank Almighty God
For the blessing
Greater than I could have imagined
Of solid ground

So Jaren and I just got back from a week long sailing trip witht heboys where we lived on the sailboat for a week. Our last night on the boat was very windy and I didn't sleep well. I had the same thought over and over again of being on solid ground!
