I look up

and what do I see?

The gloomy sky stares right back at me.

I look down

and what do I see?

The dry soil stares right back at me.

Two feet steady

on the ground,

my head high

in the clouds,

I know what I see.

Winds dance through my hair.

Mountains sing in solidarity.

Trees embrace each other.

Voices united,

I listen.

With determination,

I look ahead…

and what do I see?

Bright flowers smile right back at me.

They beam and beam and beam

with their vibrant yellow―

the colour of positivity,

the colour of joy,

the colour of loyalty.

They grow and grow and grow 

in spite of rainstorms,

in spite of thunderstorms,

in spite of snowstorms,

in spite of ______ storms.

They sing and sing and sing

through the rain,

through the wind,

through the sunshine,

through the ______.

I listen.

This is a Nature song.

Dear reader,
