A Day in the Forest
The trees’ memoriesLinger softlyShadows of time past A multitudeOf silent witnessesTime passes slowly Life is teemingUnder the foliageAn ecosystem in motion Lush plantsCarpet the groundAnts gather food Rabbits and miceScurry aboutHappy and content Walking underneathThe canopy of leavesLife is simpler Feeling connectedTo God the CreatorFrom dirt He made us Look at the beautyAnd diversityOf life…
