All Wonders Are Free, No Admissions Price

All Wonders Are Free, No Admissions Price Lord grant me, days in Nature's rainbow hues Walking among wildlife, searching for clues Thankful for these very fine hiking shoes In splendor of morn's new risen sun This peaceful, calming walk will be fun Later, short picnic before I run To find butterflies fluttering about In Nature's pleasing joy, no need to shout Here waters 'aplenty never a drought Blue lake lies just beyond Oak-tail heights Flower banks and ducks a graceful sight Even more beautiful seen by moonlight Lord grant me, more years in this paradise All wonders are free, no admissions price.

what an interesting sonnet form and incredible writing on just enjoying one's life and simple pleasures. You did Peter proud I know he is so good at this theme as well. May you be able to spend years and years enjoying such pleasures, Robert. Merry Christmas to you.

Thank you kindly my friend. I find Peter's knowledge and talent in composing so well in so many poetry forms(both new and old) indicative of his tremendous talent. Thus when I read his brilliant poem written in this sonnet form I just had to give it a go..
