W.A. Cholt Poet Sonnet

Nature's Song

Whenever I hear the heavens sing 
Or see the sun shining down 
Or behold any living thing 
That walks on this hallowed ground, 
Whenever I see the earth in spring 
Fertile and blooming with life 
Or hear the birds sweetly sing 
Their joyful song in the morning light, 
Then how grateful I am
Here on this abundant earth 
Surrounded by nature and man
And behold that glorious rebirth, 
Such is nature's song to me
Uplifting the soul, joyful and free.
