"Never a day passes, but that I do myself the honor,
To commune with some of nature’s varied forms."
George Washington Carver
Music: A Whole New World
So very fortunately for me
I’ve had some great mentors
Ever since I was a youngster
Everything in Nature, I adore
From those truly wondrous days in my Grandma’s garden
To those fabulous days at summer camp in the pine wood
To my many wilderness fishing, hiking, and camping trips
Since a very young age, I’ve found Nature so awfully good
My dear grandmother taught me all about insects, flowers, and birds
My camp counselors showed me the many merits of turtles and frogs
My wilderness trips have brought an understanding of conserving nature
And my days on Earth would have been truly sad, without cats and dogs
But so very sadly to me, and to so many other nature lovers, today
The youth of our modern world are not learning these marvelous things
Their parents, teachers, and mentors have allowed them to remain indoors
Where they play their computer games, and know not, what Nature brings
If we hope to leave our children with a world, still filled with Nature’s beauty
We must all start helping them to understand, why we must not abuse our world
National Wildlife Week starts today, and it’s truly a wonderful opportunity for all
To show a child, the many wonders of Nature, and help a whole new world unfurl

We’re Taking Mean Tall Woman and Our Dogs,
Down To the Marvelous Old Frog Pond Tonight;
Sitting Around in the Moonlight, Listening to Nature,
Still Brings This Old Nature Lover, Such Sheer Delight

“The more clearly we can focus our attention
On the many wonders of Nature,
The less taste we shall have,
For its destruction.”
Rachel Carson
