Jewels Of Nature

The sun is like a big gold nugget,
In the pale sapphire sky.
The grass and trees are like shining emeralds,
So green they make me sigh.

The lake is like a silver crystal,
That pearl coloured swans float across.
The red rose is like a ruby in the garden,
While violets are like amethysts in the moss.

All the money in the world couldn't buy,
These precious, wonderous Jewels of nature.
I'm glad I live on this beautiful earth,
That is like a diamond, always with its glamour.
