Nature

Tell me then
if not now
Forsake me not
as I oft forget

Show not tears
nor unbridled rage
But be as swift as an eagle
As calm as the spring wind
Yet not as harsh as the summer sun

Be like a dandelion,
bright and cheerful
Be like a daisy,
the morn's hope
Be like a lily,
kind and protective

For this is nature
