Nature, Beautiful Nature

NATURE, BEAUTIFUL NATURE

When the morning sun peeps over the hill
The birds and squirrels can't seem to be still
I watch the horses out in the field
Romping and playing as horses will

I take a stroll to the old grist mill
To buy Grandma a peck of cornmeal
She'll fix supper, oh what a thrill
To sit and eat 'til I get my fill

In the meantime I'll go see Jill
And pick her a rose or a daffodil
Maybe go swimming down by the mill
Find some watermelons to steal

Summer in the country --- that's what is real
At one with nature is how you will feel

Susan, you are amazing. Your comments are always so incredible and are put in the kindest form of flattery as well as genuine sincerity. That is a combination so rare and possessed by so few. Thank you for your support.
