Natures Wonders

"To be truely happy, take time
to enjoy the Beauty of Nature"


Our world has many treasures
so precious to behold.
These are not the sort of treasures
that can be bought or sold!

To point out all our treasures
would be impossible to do.
So therefore I decided,
I would mention just a few.

In the morning when the sun comes up,
the birds begin to sing.
Flowers spread their fragrant smell.
Butterflies spread their wings.

Just to gaze upon the flowers
in their colorful array.
Their blossoms seem so beautiful,
it's a wondrous display!

There's so much lovely vegetation
that beautifies our land,
in so many pretty colors,
it's hard to comprehend!

A gentle rain falls to the ground.
There's a rainbow in the sky.
A mother duck sits on her eggs.
An eagle soars on high!

The sound of children laughing.
The love of faithful friends.
All these treasures we will cherish,
til our life's journey ends!

It's no wonder Ralph that you are one of my faves. Another great one for the list. Though this would be great in any book of poetry I would love to see you do a children's book. They need to be shown the beauty that is without price. God Bless, JB
