For Granted

The wave of the soft wind blowing whispering in my ear I stop to listen as the birds singing guide me near As I walk on a carpet of green and my feet touch A pool of rain I no longer feel pain I reach to the heavenly sky’s For some sort of sign to guide me on my way As I stumble and fall lost in front of a big and tall Woody plant I look up to see a bright light in front of me Its yellow rays has turn the clouds away As I continue my trip on this wide and open road I start to see the splendor of living things How for granted we take The wind the birds the grass the rain the sky the trees the sun If going green means to save wild life and preserve nature shouldn’t we after all god gave this to us on barrow time On earth as I look around me on this out side world Where the love grows cold and little know about Our oceans Turing red as we turn blind at what’s next We are set on moving fast and going no where As I stop and stare I shed a tear for greener years
