                                        NATURE

                            I love the outdoors,
                            to hear birds sing, a waterfall.
                          To see the stars at night,
                          and swim in the ocean
                          with rolling waves.
                          all this, and more,
                          I have known.

                          To feel a strong wind
                          makes my spirit soar,
                          over clouds, and an ocean of white;
                          a carpet of forest green.
                          All this, and more,
                          I have seen.

                          A walk in the woods,
                          where serenity dwells.
                          To wait, and be still,
                          and soon know her well. 

                          In the cool of evening,
                          to hear Nature's song,
                        on a high mountain
                        or a sandy shore,
                        I'd be at home once more.
