The Forest

(9/5/12) I walked through the forest of beautiful tall trees And felt the softness of a gentle breeze I saw a rabbit running by, as I looked up to the sky There was a squirrel jumping from tree to tree Landing on the branches so gracefully. I heard the crickets making their beautiful sound But there was none that could be found. I could hear a woodpecker pecking away But I knew it was far away. I heard the shrill of the crows in flight But the trees covered them from my sight I heard the sound of a running brook As I searched to take a look. The forest with all its sights Made my heart jump with delight All the beauties that GOD has given Is in this forest where his creatures are living. I found the brook which was clear as glass And the fish jumping- creating a splash The suns reflection on the water like sparkling diamonds in the brook as I got closer to take a look. If and when time permits Go to the forest - take a trip Look at all that GOD has given This is what makes life worth living.
