The Best Things In Life Are Free

'Tis often said that the best things in life are free. Open your eyes and keen those ears and I think you would agree! When Old Sol gilds the eastern skies then settles in the west, We're awed by the Master's Artistry and we are truly blessed! Note the magnificence of a rainbow arching across the sky; In the ebon universe, the celestial bodies silently passing by. The sight of skeins of geese winging their way to points unknown; The sound of soughing winds through the pines so stately grown! Dew drops on crimson roses at dawn that grace a pristine lawn; The gamboling nigh yon copse of a graceful doe and her fawn. Hear the laughter of little children cavorting in the park, And the cheery song in the lea of a very contented meadow lark! Sounds of water playing its hymn rushing o'er stones in a stream; The sight of a majestic eagle soaring high and its clarion scream! Mountains reaching for the sky are a magnificent sight to behold; In the autumn, the trees all cloaked in crimson, yellow and gold! Herds of buffalo and sleek antelope grazing on the rolling plain; Awesome displays of lightning to be seen during a pouring rain. There are so many things that are free, too many to really measure, That don't cost a cent if we'd only take the time for them to treasure! Robert L.
