The Forest

When I was young

I loved to take off

Strolling through the woods;

Especially in autumn when

The leaves began to turn.

To watch the rabbits scamper

As they forage through the brush,

While squirrels stockpile food before

The weather gets too stern.

The tall trees tower over me

A hundred feet or more.

The babbling brook sings out its' cheerful song.

The life that fills the forest

Overwhelms the mortal mind.

It touches deep the soul

And lets you know that you belong.
