Mother Earth provides us with what we need,

Oh, just look out the window already!
It takes a unique person to notice.
Most simply cannot see all the glory.
A Viewpoint changes when you adjust your focus.
The timbered giants stand oh-so tall,
and that makes me feel so very, very small.
Their shadows dance from winds that blow.
Take a walk inside a park or
Jaunt a forgotten trail.
Close your eyes and listen.
Take a deep breath and exhale.
This is a wonderful poem. I had to read the other ones you've written, Ms. Sylvia, and they are all beautiful. I, too, enjoy walking in the woods and also really share your concern about the...
Earth is a beautiful place,
a place we live every day.
We should have the grace
