Nature lives forever
By her Creator’s hand
Nourishing spirit guides
Sunrise greeting each day
Life revolves ‘round her grace
Lighting earthly journey
Gentle winds bring comfort
Music from nature’s band
Breathing with its rhythm
Grassy plains stretching far
Lofty mountains border
Sharing abounding life
Beauty arrives by air
Birds of many colors
Singing nature’s chorus
Majestic trees arise
Redwoods reaching heavens
Scaling fate’s boldest heights
Creator’s view from clouds
Seeing creatures below
Serving nature’s purpose
Rivers ever flowing
Dogged spirit guiding
Reaching each shining sea
God’s time always endures
Creation spawns nature
Breathing, living, endless

Minutes recovered

Opening one more door
Flavoring each outcome
Opportunity explores
Brainstorming’s invitation
Embracing new content
Craving experience
Vision allowed to ferment
Designated improvements
Surveying future needs
Climbing today’s ladder
Each study’s answers exceed
Another weekend arrives
Rising with extra time
Healing breathes from each zone
Another memory rhymes
Life dances through one more scene
Shaping legacy’s place
Reading yesterday’s script
Time to utilize “backspace”

Another touch of peace
Harmony’s interactions
Nature’s timely release
Embracing daylight
Morning’s joyfulness speaks
Each illustrated landscape
Nature’s waiting mystique
Inserting wind’s breath
Grove of tree branches sway
Scattered pollen taking flight
Nature’s open gateway
Mixing up colors
Hues of unique design
Tranquility delivers
Nature’s scenic pipeline
Fulfilling vision
Hope offering her hand
Empty canvas finished
Nature’s spirit commands
