"Beautiful"' I said to myself
As I sat down on the green grass to rest.
Cool and calm the river flowed.
And above my head, the sun glowed.
The rays were all bright and warm.
They felt good after yesterday's storm.
The trees however looked not-so-good,
A huge mass of tangled wood.
And yet they stood tall and proud.
Their roots spreading deep underground.
The birds and insects flew around,
Chirping, buzzing, making heavenly sounds.
I wish I could have stayed longer,
But I had places to travel.
I had a destination to reach,
And some promises to keep.
But I would never forget that wonderful place,
And carry its memories to my grave.
