Preserve the Past

Preserve the past in order 
to make tomorrow a better place.

With the strength of ten
and the mind of one
brush off those wounds
aging the surface
and free up your thoughts

It is there the lessons do lie
where man and nature survive
together we all live as one
amazed with each setting sun 

Listen ...
as the bluebird sings her sweet song
and a hungry child listens along
fly into the breeze and see
this here is just you and me

Restless real beauty lives
deep in the recesses of time
in heart the good mother strives
holding hope for our kind and our lives

Hello Tim. I hope this day finds you well. How very true your words because they are. Nice work with the rhyming also. Well done entirely. Enjoy the day.

Yes!! Very inspirational Tim, as Darren has said. Sometimes joy can be found in places and things no one would expect, but it all depends on what you focus on. Great write :)

My friend, that is so inspirational. I am going to listen to the birds now, and think of this.

Real beauty lives in nature, if only people would slow down long enough to listen and look. Nice reminders, Tim.
