Heil Valley (Lyons, Colorado)

The valley so far and wide below
Linden rocks on to capture the show

Bluebells ring to take a picture
mountain lions roam a permenant fixture

And on we trek up the valley
It kind of looks like Cali

And the birds chirp and sing
But oh, does that hot sun sting

Oh look, there's a beautiful sight
Purple mountains with such height

And the time to look at the flat mesas sublime
Let's sit down at the picnic table and have a diet lime

In the green shade now at noon time
Is it a crime to see such lush beauty on not even a dime?
