It Means a Lot To Me

* This was written for the It Means a lot to me Contest, but it looks like I missed the deadline. Nature means a lot to me - God’s creation is a gift to cherish I’ve lived with nature my entire life From sunrise to sunset, decorated skies The colorful trees in autumn, highlight the land The blooming flowers at home or in the wild, Bring beauty and scents, filling the day The happy bird songs and freedom filled flights The playful animals with antics, put on a show The refreshing rivers bring renewal with flow The winter wonderland from soft falling snow The calming chorus sound of the ocean waves Beaches with softened rocks and delicate shells All bring peace, inspiration, lessons and entertainment God created this gifts with wonder every day gratitude will stay Heidi Sands 2//26/23
