Living in the countryside

Living in the countryside 
By Michelle Morris

Living in the countryside 
Has a wonderful allure
You can get closer to Nature 
And feel her beauty, oh so pure

At night it's really peaceful 
You can sit under the stars
The dark is like a velvet cloak
That holds up the lights afar

You can leave doors unlocked 
Whether night or day
People can be trusted 
Moral virtues to obey 

It's not that they're all perfect 
It's just a simpler way of life 
A focus on what matters 
Like respect and being kind

Family and friends close by 
Connections that are real
Living in the countryside 
Is like a sweet adventure feeling 

Muddy walks with dogs
Babbling brooks and streams 
Cows and sheep in meadows 
Verdant landscapes and woodland beings

Quaint places to have a meal 
At a slow and restful pace
The countryside is where you'll find 
A special kind of place 

Living in the countryside 
Gets us back to Nature's ways
If only we could extend this blessing
To those stuck in the city's rat race
