When Troubled, Sad and Lost

 
When I am troubled I walk in nature,
and soon my troubles are far, far away;
I start to notice the bird songs in the trees,
and beautiful nature all around me.

And I am kissed by a passing breeze !

When I am full of tears I seek nature,
though grief is like a stone holding me down;
the trees wrap me in silent peace,
and a stream babbles a melody for my soul.

And the passing breeze is an awaking !

When I am hurt and broken by this life,
a walk in nature helps me to let go;
I stop to pick a wildflower bouquet,
like I used to for my sweet mother once.

And I am kissed by a passing breeze !

When I am unloved, lonely and sad,
I remember that God is my best friend;
and he created nature for me and you,
so, on my walk he comes to me as a sigh.

And the passing breeze is an awaking !
