I walked gently up the hill,
The wonder of nature around me,
Each sight giving me a thrill,
The beauty of nature that I see.
The woods and valleys
Showing me so much beauty
That often overwhelms me
And I need to just sit and look,
Look at the artwork surrounding me
And I think,
Think how fortunate I am
To be able to see this beauty,
This beauty and wonder
Given to me as a gift from Nature
And me being able to appreciate it,
An appreciation that will go on,
Go on for all my long life.
