The Wonders of Nature

As I look at nature, it’s sure delight,
because what I see is a lovely sight.
Can’t you hear the birds take flight?
daffodils sway to the left and to the right,
Eagles soar, with keen and good eyesight. 
fish swim, in ocean such an amazing plight,
Grass caresses one's skin at twilight,
heaven on earth; it’s an alluring invite.
Iagos find shelter while it’s still daylight,
just beyond the stream is a campsite; 
Kayaks sail by ,underneath the moonlight. 
lions roar and the animals run in fright,
monkeys swing in trees, they’re so bright;
Nectar flows, bees have a strong appetite. 
one could just bask in nature all night,
Pleasure fills me as I notice a little kite.
Queen lions teach her young,their birthright, 
Robbins sing a sweet song; a lovely highlight.  
Swans glide across the lake, free of frostbite.
turtles are in their own world,out of the limelight,
Understanding nature isn’t black and white. 
valuable lessons were learned here,in hindsight, 
Why didn’t I do it sooner? Now I sit and write.
xeroxed fears are gone, they were too contrite;
youth is fading, I want my life to be dynamite, 
Zeal is what I strive for when I’m feeling uptight.
