I travel throughout the swamp, engulfing all of nature
My favorite is the Lilly pads
They are so beautiful
Sprinkles of water glimmer in the light as they relax on the Lilies pad
The Lilly pads strong stem captures a fishermen's lure and gives it a home in the swamp
A turtle slowly drifts to sleep on the lily pad, while being blanketed in the warm rays of the sun
The sweat fragrance of the snow white flowers penetrates throughout the scenic swamp
Your muscles strengthen, as they struggle to push a kayak away from a Lilly pads tight grip
The large green pads carpet the warm summer water, sheltering young fish from lurking herons
As the lily pads sink into the cold fall waters I become sad
But when ever I am sad I think of the Lilly pads
