Bounty

Tread upon a hopeful path

And count your every step

It will do your soul no good

To run ‘til out of breath

 

Savor the soil underneath

Enjoy the things it feeds

See the wonder in the dirt

That houses what you need

 

Sip the stream that’s running by

The path on which you walk

Let its coolness comfort you

And notice how it talks

 

Seek the shade beneath the trees

And spend some moments with them

They have witnessed generations

They are ripe with wisdom

 

Count the flowers and the leaves

Enjoy their luscious blooms

Notice that they still will grow

wherever there is room

 

Remember that the sun’s a star

With its warmth and light

Its elements are inside you

And always shining bright
