My Only Friend

I lay down beneath the sun, And watch all colors fade to brown The trees around me sway together I watch as autumn leaves drift down I lay down beneath the sun, As this world of light will fade to grey I'm by myself, no one's beside me There was before, but no one stays I lay down beneath the sun, I'll be here until time's end To watch as nature's beauty fades Nature is my only friend.

Nature carries a permanence that most friends can't provide. It's beauty will last for all time and always brings a smile to our faces. Very nice, Dana'lynn! Love, Carolyn

Nature is the best buddy for picking up the spirits. Animals might find your presence disturbing, for a bit. The birds will watch over you. The peacefulness will sing to you, so you can feel healed. Enjoyed this piece...hope all's well with you! Best to you, Mikki
