Nature, the Best Teacher

More than any master,
More than any preacher,
You are the best guide!
Yes! You are the best teacher.

Any excess of summer,
And you cool down as rain.
When the showers get too much,
The clouds drift...you peek again.

When the chilly nights of winter,
Get tough to bear, far too long,
Your warm comfort makes us smile,
In the warmth of spring, we can sing a song.

Like a master of trapeze,
You are all about balance.
You teach us control, harmony,
Yes... you always make sense.

Day and night, 
Darkness and light,
There's never disagreement, 
There's never a fight!

In you, great teacher,
All can exist side by side,
Desert, Valley, Hills and Plain,
Each gets its place of pride.

For the mind that understands,
For the eyes that truly see,
Your lessons are invaluable,
And they all come for free!

You are the best teacher,
That's what we can say.
We know you have done it forever,
And you will go on showing the way...
