The Pacific Northwest

Everywhere the trees are so green
Most beautiful sights ever seen
With snow capped mountains in between
And the rivers flowing so pristine
I love hiking the trails very long
Each step my heart is beating her song
If you would like to please come along
To get away from the crowded throng
I love having our nature so near
Walking amongst it my mind is clear
And I think about what I revere
All the things to me that I hold dear

It is nature that I admire most
And where I live now she is so close

We too live in the pacific northwest...but perhaps not as "north" as you....but like you, we are so fortunate to have the mountains, rivers and streams surrounding our valley...so not far for us to enjoy! I'm guessing you are in Oregon or Washington? Congratulations on this lovely poem, Joe!! Well done!! Love, Carrie
