Nature: My Great Love

Many things in life we do like
but only a few we say I love
one of mine is undoubtedly nature
nature and me just fits like a glove

It's such an epic sight to view
having a walk among nature's green
taking in the colours among the trees
so picturesque filling one's theme

When you walk along the water's edge
looking across right to the other side
the sun shines down making a water mirror
so still and bright forever to glide

Walking through woodland in the spring
even in autumn, it's lovely and fair
a little frost crunches under your feet
these mornings thrill you lair by lair 

Would love to live in nature all year long
have birds, squirrels and ducks at my side
watching the greenery from where I am
we can but dream wish there to abide
