Nature's Song by Craig Thorogood

In summertime, bright is the sun Its rays peek  through the leaves on the trees Warming the soft blanket of grass Beneath our feet. The chirps of the birds Fill the air, as the squirrels Play and race around. This is the song of nature.

In autumn, change, the song of nature Does . Leaves fall, letting the sun Gleam through the branches on which the birds Sit. Preparing for winter, the squirrels store nuts by their favorite trees, Burying them deep in the grass.

In winter, cold, the grass Becomes , barely growing. Nature Seems to stop. Bare stand the trees , Waving their arms <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> at the faint light of the sun <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Which does nothing to warm the few squirrels <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Seen scavenging for food, pausing only to look at passing birds.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">In spring, the song of the birds <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Returns. The green of the grass <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Is once again apparent, and the squirrels <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Bask in the warmth of nature. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">The bright glow of the sun <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Illuminates the green leaves on the trees.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Summer comes again, completing the circle. The trees <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Are full and strong. The birds <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Are lively. The ever-apparent sun <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Is bright and yellow. The grass <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Is healthy and vibrant. The squirrels <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Jump in delight. Summer is the loudest song of nature.

Everlasting, the song of nature Is <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">. The circle will go on and on. The trees <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Will stand tall and mighty, no matter the season. The squirrels <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Will run playfully, day in, day out. The birds <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Will sing their song for all to hear. Our feet will be comforted by the grass <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">, <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">As our minds and hearts will by the sun.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">From the trees, to the squirrels, <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">To the birds, to the grass Nature's song is a light in our lives <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">, just like the sun.
