Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 538 (Too Busy)

We were too busy-
Never mind, the blooming
flowers, that we did not see.
.
We were too busy-
To appreciate the wonders,
around us, that there were
to be.
.
We were too busy, to notice-
And, catch that moment, that
we might miss.
.
We were too busy, to view-
A minor success, that another,
happened to acrue.
.
We were just too busy, and
missed a whole lot-
Now only regret, is what we’ve
got.
.
We were too busy-
Never mind, the blooming
flowers, that we did not see.

Modern Mama Goose-On The Loose # 473 (Sitting Outside)

The weather began to warm
up a bit-
Which led me, to the backyard,
to sit.
.
I noticed things like I’d never
noticed before-
For me, a nature surprise was
in store.
.
There were birds, that had
gone unseen-
There were things sprouting
from the ground, that were
green.
.
There were funny bugs, all
around-
On the trees, and on the ground.
.
There were limbs down, that had
fallen from the winter-
To pick them up, I was glad to stir.
.
The sky was just as blue, as it
could be-
I was grateful for the nature, that
God had created for me.
.
The weather began to warm
up a bit-
Which led me, to the backyard,
to sit.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose (A Second Chance)

He walked through the forest and what he saw-

Made him feel  overwhelmed, and he was filled with awe.

.

The birds sang in the trees-

His face was felt by the breeze.

.

He saw a squirrel scamper by-

He saw an eagle take off and fly.

.

He noticed the bugs that appeared everywhere-

Some were strange looking, but he did not care.

.

For he was seeing the forest, and taking it all in-

For the very first time, not like way back when.

.

For he was now an old man, and had passed the

forest, in the past without any thought-

Now the true meanings of nature is what he

sought.

.

He walked through the forest and what he saw-

Made him feel  overwhelmed, and he was filled with awe.
