Nature
Nature is the forest’s trees,
Nature is an ocean breeze,
Nature is raging fire,
Nature is a great desire.
Nature is a growing tree,
Nature is you and me.
Nature is sweet and calm,
Nature is an empty palm.
Nature is what the eye can see,
Nature is the birds that flee.
Nature is the sky above,
Nature is a flying dove.
Nature is the Milky Way,
Nature is an ocean bay.
Nature is the rising sun,
Nature is everyone.
Nature is a fat blue jay,
Nature is a bright new day.
Nature is a swimming duck,
Nature is deep swamp muck.
Nature is a blooming flower,
Nature has a lot of power.
Nature is a pouring rain,
Nature is in a lot of pain.
Nature is a slithering snake,
Nature is a shimmering lake.
Nature is a raging bear,
Nature is a hopping hare.
Nature is a big, black crow,
Nature is a spotted foe.
Nature is a gopher hole,
Nature is a pudgy mole.
Nature is a baby lamb,
Nature is a big bold ram.
Nature is the moon’s big sliver,
Nature is a raging river.
Nature is the horse’s hay,
Nature, please don’t go away.
