“I go back to nature,
To be soothed and healed,
And to have my senses,
Put back in order.”
John Burroughs
What a lovely night, for camping
We were soothed, by nature’s bliss
I would love, to forsake modern life
I could easily live out my days, like this
No phone, no television, no computer
No modern day ‘gadgets,’ of any kind
Just the glorious gift, of God’s Creation
Camping, is the perfect way, to unwind
The tranquil full moon, shining down on us
The mesmerizing campfire, before we sleep
The sight and sound, of fireflies and crickets
Memories of a gorgeous day, that we will keep
Arising so refreshed, at dawn’s very first light
With my dogs and my spouse, greeting the sun
Camp coffee, good company, and melodious birds
I always regret when any camping that I do, is done
Whether I’m on The Great American Backyard Campout
Or, on a wilderness lake, miles from all modern civilization
I will always treasure each opportunity, to enjoy nature’s bliss
And I hope to keep camping, until my days on Earth, are done
What a lovely night, for camping,
We were soothed, by nature’s bliss;
I would love to forsake modern life,
I could easily live out my days, like this.
