When at times I had worries in life
Of a night I'd take a tent blanket too
And go sleep the night in the forest pine
As the pine breezes sang a lullaby or two

I'd sleep like as if nature was my carer
With nature singing my very woes away
Night birds watching over me with love
And not wake until the early dawn of day

My becoming as all  that nature ever created
And I'd dream that I rode the winds on high
Waking no way I could remember my worries
Sung to sleep as natures symphonies would sigh

Sometimes I took my old pet dog along with me
It would curl up beside me among the pines high
The fragrance of the pine telling me all was fine
And next day all was well a new day ever so divine
