I went for a walk, and what did I see?
What the earth, had to give, with all of its beauty.
.
The trees were standing tall and strong-
As I simply carried along.
.
There were flowers growing astray-
A newer one, for a brand new day.
.
The turtles were in the shell-
Guess they don’t like company, as
far as I can tell.
.
Little bugs crawling everywhere-
In the grass, on the rocks that were bare.
.
Sometimes we take this all for granted,
as we travel along-
To hear the birds, in full song.
.
Doesn’t take an electronic gadget, to
enjoy Mother Nature-
Been here forever, and in the future
will endure.
.
I went for a walk, and what did I see?
What the earth, had to give, with all of its beauty.

The children ran out to play-
They were going to have a fun day.
.
It was sunny enough-
To do the really fun stuff.
.
Like climbing trees-
And, enjoying the breeze.
.
Searching for bugs, in the grass-
Collecting sme of them, in a jar glass.
.
Picking flowers, for mother, of course-
Just having fun, looking at the neighbor’s horse.
.
Realizing that one day, that this could not go on-
Gee, the summer had moved on, and it was about gone.
.
There would come a day when-
That thing called school, would once again begin.
The children ran out to play-
They were going to have a fun day.

Trees filled the forest-
All the way through, at best.
.
Then they began to build-
The fate, of the forest was sealed.
.
Home after home came-
And then the forest was never again
the same.
.
Three trees stood, in the aftermath-
Alongside, was a well thought out path.
.
All went well, until someone wanted to
cut the three trees down-
And, then all, of a sudden, much protest
was found.
.
For the three trees tended, to beautify,
the neighborhood-
Standing, tall, as they should.
.
Suddenly, to go green-
Appeared on the scene.
.
Trees filled the forest-
All the way through, at best.

We used to play, in the summer sun-
From the early morning, til the day was done.
.
Outside we had so much fun-
Of course, using our imagination.
.
A program or two, on TV, we’d get to see-
And, then the rest, of the time, outside we
would be.
.
Climbing trees and making mud pies-
Counting bees, and catching flies.
.
Running, til we could run no more-
Always wondering, what next, would be
in store.
.
Playing hide and seek-
With that once, in a while peek.
.
Sitting under a tree-
Talking of what we would do next,
and what we’d grow up to be.
.
We used to play, in the summer sun-
From the early morning, til the day was done.
