An Admirer of Nature I used to be

  An admirer of nature, I used to be
    ‘til a storm felled my favorite tree

  Ever-optimistic, my always thoughts
    ‘til in my first real war I fought  

  Laid-back and leisurely, I once dined
    ‘til worn down by the workaday grind

  Always thrilled to the sight of flowers
    ‘til I lived in a windowless tower

  The world chews us up and spits us out
    Heaven’s surely better, I have no doubt
