BACK TO NATURE – JOURNAL XVII

The frogs, the turtles have returned
The river has been cleansed
And I can see some fishermen
Wading out round the bend

Thank heaven those in high places
Have honored their pledge
To clean up our once fair Bawasee
Have brought in a dredge

In these last few I would dredge up my past,
Clean up the errors of years
Be of better vision
Back to nature at last

I like the connection between cleaning up nature and past errors. I am going to have to find your other journal entries.
