A Chance

As we go about our lives'

Daily drudgery and grind,

We miss the chance to notice

Nature, serene and kind.

A chance to watch the sun rise,

To feel the morning breeze,

To hear the chirping birds,

The wonders never cease.

The majesty of the mountains,

The valleys dipping deep,

Standing proudly for us

In memories to keep

Don't ever lose this chance

So priceless and fine,

Or trade the joy and peace

For glimmer and shine

Oblivious to nature's bounties,

We go through this life,

Looking for a chance

To be happy, sans the strife.

God the creator, the artist

With strokes, skewed and curled

Has given us the chance

To feel his magical world.
