Peace and calm enfold me
As I leave city life behindn
The hustle and the bustle
Fade far from my mind

Driving out into the country
I can't help but smile within
Though I know not what awaits me
I am eager to begin

Such beauty all around me
I feel it touch me deep inside
This ever changing landscape
A constant feast for my eyes

How many shades of red
Is it possible to see
As mile after mile
Vibrant earth surrounds me

The wonder of the salt lakes
Which appear when least expected
The ranges all around them
Perfectly reflected

How I love this country side
This land that I call my home
If you feel it as I do
You will never be alone.
