We live in a world filled with nature’s delight,
its wonderment so rare, its beyond compare,
for it makes our spirit soar like an eagle in flight,
beauty and rapture are there for us all to share.
Forest of tall evergreens swaying in the breeze,
wild flowers with colors of a rainbow to please,
a mystical feeling that brings you to your knees,
the sensation of just floating in heavenly peace.
This land consist of two distinctly different worlds,
concrete cities filled with endless rushing confusion,
where man strives for success, his head in a whirl,
while money and wealth is the drawing illusion.
Then there is the land of adventure and enchantment,
in nature’s paradise of beauty and instinctive survival,
where peace and harmony are real and not an enactment,
and God’s presence is everywhere not just at a revival.
The choice is yours as to where you decide to live,
daily, we each choose, how to face our inner fears,
but in the cycle of life nature has so much to give,
in the mystical forest the essences brings happy tears.
