One With Nature

I’ve been completely thrilled with Nature Since on that North Dakota farm I ran barefoot through the grasses Without a thought of meeting harm. My dear daddy was a farmer And I have been a farmer’s wife. Yes, I have been thrilled with Nature Through the whole of my long life. Gardening is my great pleasure Where I spend many happy hours Consorting with Mother Nature While caring for my pretty flowers. Cities are all right to visit In their quaint unnatural ways. But I’m glad to leave them after Just one or two exploring days. It is not far to the mountains Or a Pacific Ocean beach From my home here in the valley. Nature’s joys are within reach.
