SURROUNDED BY BEAUTY
Surrounded by winter beauty, almost touch each glorious tree,
A view that is hard to describe, one that you just have to see,
Two hundred miles of winter glory for wide open eyes,
It is worth the trip up north to view this wondrous prize.
Winding and twisting, turning, each one a radiant view
To fill you full of joy and pleasure the journey through,
Then a treasure of absolute grace and sweet delight,
A deer with a full rack comes quickly into your sight.
I Pray that my eyes will always see nature in all her beauty,
See the simple grace of ordinary things to ever enrich me,
Never take for granted all the treasure that nature gives
And count as sacred all the plants and creatures that lives.
