The Wonders of Nature

Sitting here in the woods, this is what I see Lush green trees, and thick brown trunks, all surrounding me I see the flowers, pink and white, colors so pastel The petals shining in the sun, with leaves as smooth as jell I see the grass below my feet, a bold hue of green A tiny squirrel running by, claws so small yet keen A bright blue sky, above my head, not a cloud in sight The sun up high, sweet and kind, lending me its light But wonders can also be revealed by hearing through my ear Let me tell you some special sounds that nature has to hear The birds are singing in the trees, further than I can see The water tapping through the night, a sound so bold and free I hear the leaves, up in the limbs, moving with the breeze Resting in their comfy home up in the branches of the trees Other senses bring treasures too, I'll tell you what I feel A smooth, free gust of wind, with a calm, relaxing appeal I feel the dirt under my hands, a soft yet firm touch There's other textures over here, like itchy grass and such I hard, firm rock, and the trunk of a green tree I walk around and I embrace the senses given to me Value your senses, treasure the wonders that nature provides for you Listen carefuly, look closely, for wonders are never few Nature is calming, with treasures unfolding, the wonders, they can heal The beauty, astounding the plants, freely growing, it almost seems unreal
