Take a leisurely walk in the woods
Beauty abounds, just take a peek.
Nature’s palette has created the goods
Amid calm and quiet let the forest speak.

Lean upon the trunk of an old oak tree
Life surrounds, have yourself a look.
Observe the sights laid out before thee
See the leaves turn like pages in a book.

Wander the foliage grown upon the earth
Potter around, take note of the greenery.
Discover the spread of nature’s cool mirth
Engulfed in the arms of pleasing scenery.

As you end your visit to this natural florist
Tidings resound, listen for the word.
Uncover the promise in the voice of the forest
In the stillness the bounty of life can be heard.
