# There Is No Charge...

Generosity of the earth, For whatever its worth. There is no charge The fragrance of flowers, At any time and hour. There is no charge The shade of a beckoning tree, Offering shelter to a refugee. There is no charge The birds early morning orchestra, Uplifting like chanting a mantra. There is no charge Motherly caress of the gentle breeze, So soothing, stress is released. There is no charge Days and nights, Nature’s cues to sleep and rise. There is no charge Watching the ebb and flow of ocean tide, As the Sun sets and goes to hide. There is no charge did you say everything is expensive, how can any one be happy. What if nature gave you a whack And tried to teach you what is lack. Can you handle her balance sheet? Indignant, you’ll scream, you cheat, you cheat.
