~ Survival Of Nature ~

The simple beauty of nature we see through our eyes,
A small baby bunny, a tree, or even a bird as it flies.
We feel the rain that brings the flowers.
We behold the beauty from those showers.

The serenity of the seasons of which we behold,
We must learn to appreciate, both young and old.
From raindrops, blue skies, snowflakes and things,
It's time to open our eyes and enjoy all the beauty nature brings.

From slow lazy rivers to snowcapped majestic mountains,
To the deserts and plains and nature's natural fountains,
The natural wonders of this world are in need of preservation,
Before man ends this world in total desolation.

The blind destruction by our own hands
Is slowly destroying the scenic wonders of our lands.
We must learn to protect and nurture the nature we cherish.
The blind eyes must see, the deaf ears must hear or the beauty we love will surely perish.
