The materialism of man, and his greed,
For worldly objects like money and stature,
Just shows that all of us need,
To experience eternal tranquility, learn a lesson from nature.

How many of us, have experienced the morning sun,
And felt the cold wind caress our face,
Why is it that we have to shun,
Nature’s free and fulfilling grace?

Haven’t any of us ever heard,
The rustling of leaves, the buzzing of bees,
And the lovely chirping of a male robin bird,
These are nature’s own sounds that put our mind at ease.

The feel of fresh grass on one’s feet,
And the pleasant wetness of a light drizzle of rain,
The glory of a summer afternoon’s blazing heat,
Don’t all these things calm us, and make us forget our pain?

How many of us have actually seen,
The rabbits scurrying in the field, and fish swimming in the freshwater pond,
The gentleness of a flower, the sprouting of a kidney bean,
Don’t all these things with nature help us bond?

How may of us have actually gone,
To a place where mother nature is at her best,
Where one can experience the romance of the night, the freshness of the dawn,
To find such places nowadays is indeed a difficult quest.

For in the midst of our lives, every day,
We hardly think about mother nature,
Don’t we all have problems that in some way,
Nature’s healing hands can cure?

So it is that man should realize,
That though in his world everything seems to be about money,
Nature has clearly proved otherwise,
That the best things in life are free…
