So Much
So much surrounds me every day, beckoning to be seen;
Butterflies and birds on wing, blue sky and grass so green.
Abundant, jewelled flowers, and the arms of my tallest tree;
I needn't fly to far-off lands with such beauty here to see.
To sit in the garden on a summer's day - there's nothing can compare;
To watch all nature at its best in fresh, clean country air.
