Nature’s gifts.....

Out on a blue sky day
for me there is no other way

feeling the sun shining on my face
for me there is no better place

breathing in the clean mountain air
for me there is so much nature to share

when I climb up to the mountain top
for me the panoramic views never stop

as I stand and take in the scenery
for me in the summer it's outstanding greenery

sitting by the river as the water flows by
for me in the autumn brilliant leaves fly

getting off the chair and seeing snow so white
for me in the winter it's a grandeur delight

when the flowers sprout up all around
for me in the spring there is nothing more profound

it's natures great gift of these glorious seasons
that gives all of us life's mystical reasons...
