Nature's Beauty, Wonderful World - Collaboration With Robert Lindley

Golden soft was the light that swiftly flew, 
As whistling rain pelted majestic oaks. 
And the soaked birds began to cry for you 
As Nature silently wrapped up its cloaks. 

Thirsty for coming dawn, so bold and new. 

Silver Maples fluttered in the wind, 
Where the fast sleeping rabbits hid away 
All beautiful, we wish to never end 
With brightened colors, every joyful day. 

As Nature's beauty flowed out to transcend. 

Dappled sunlight flickers in swaying trees 
Squirrels forage for their winter food store 
Shadows dancing in warm autumnal breeze 
The beauty of nature holds me in awe 

Man must protect earth; we are its trustees 

God blesses us with four seasons each year 
Each one brings its own delightful beauty 
Gardens grow, pretty flowers soon appear 
Bringing joy to our world for all to see 

Please cherish the world that we hold so dear 

Collaboration by Robert Lindley & Jan Allison 
30th November 2014
