First impressions count
Each smile creates another—
One more happy heart
Lifting up others
Laughter’s contagious spirit—
Feeling heartfelt joy
Sharing contentment
Cheerful heart opens one more—
Spirit’s gentleness

Quiet brook bubbling
Thicket hides every gurgle—
Single deer’s safe path
One more tree in sight
Scampering along tall fence—
Squirrel’s morning trail
Freshly seeded fields
Geometry’s straightest lines—
Farmer’s precision
