Have you ever walked in the country in the early spring,
Across a meadow, at sunrise, after a rain and heard a bird sing?
Felt the cool breeze against your face, blowing through your hair,
Reminding you of Winter past, knowing that Spring's finally here?
Smelled the earths fragances in the air, rising from the damp ground,
Clean and fresh, of life awaking from winter's sleep all around?
Heard the soft tinkling of a brook swollen now by melting snow,
As if flows through the meadow toward it's destiny far below?
If not you should, you should, for have you missed lot,
The wonder of life renewed, that won't soon be forgot.
Have you ever walked barefoot in the summer on the soft, warm sand,
At twilight, along an oceans shore, and fed a seagull from your hand?
Smelled the scent of the ocean, the breath of the sea,
Felt the mist touch your face born on a breeze that blows ever free?
Saw the sun on the horizon as it sunk into the sea, the coming of night,
Seen the moon cast across the waves a path of silvery light?
Heard the roar of the waves driven by the winds of a storm,
Or the gentle lapping on the sand, of a wave, before a storm is born?
If not you should, you should, try if you can,
Experience the wonders of the sea, where life began.
Have you ever walked through a mountain forest in the morning,
In the Autumn, as it awakens from the night, a new day was dawning?
Heard the birds welcoming the sun, the end of the night,
Seen the sun rise above the trees, felt the warm golden light?
Watched a leaf fall, it's home no longer high in a tree,
It's task fulfilled, falling to earth, for a time drifting free?
Smelled the fresh scent of pine, on a breeze, drifting by,
Heard the wind in the trees, guiding the clouds across sky?
If not you should, you should, it's just outside your door,
Nature in transition, preparing to rest once more.
Have you ever walked down a lane during a winter's storm,
In the evening, when the snow was falling and a new landscape was born?
Watched the snow as it fell past a glowing street light,
Forming, as it fell, a sparkling halo high above in the night?
Felt on your cheek, the the chill kiss of the winter, so bold,
A reminder of the warmth of your home, of a winter nights cold?
Listened for the sound, as you walk, of the snow as it falls,
Hearing only the peace and silence of the night as it calls?
If not you should, you should, when you have a chance,
The wonders of a nights quiet beauty, winters romance.
