Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls

N iagara Falls, just to hear the name
I nspires wonderful thoughts
A nd feelings of tranquility
G uaranteed you will be
A mazed at the stunning
R esplendent beauty of this
A ttraction of worldwide fame

F alls that captivate the soul, but
A llows the imagination to roam freely
L iving in total peace and harmony
L oving each other for all eternity
S ilently surrendering to sweet serenity

Yeah, so inspiring of serenity, just seeing the power reminds me how small and insignificant we are.
