Granted

It’s all around
for each to see
the flower the mountain
the sky the tree

Breathe the air
get warmth from the Sun
in morning it rises
day has begun

Drink the water
to quench your thirst
don’t take it for granted
give thanks for it first

Sensing fragrances
that float on a breeze
seasons of change
from hot to freeze

Life is beautiful
full of wonder and awe
the stages of the ages
the see the saw

Engage in Nature
child of the Earth
you were blessed and chosen
when your mother gave birth
