The Trees Poem by James Casey

The Trees

As I stroll along a tree lined walk....
I marvel at the beauty that nature has brought
Letting nature move my feet
My heart sometimes skips a beat

At the good life all around
In this place that I have found
Smell a living world, one that's been here so long
I touch the trees along the path, as soon I will be gone

Their strength and beauty are taken for granted
Many pass and leave them, unappreciated
Unloved in this world that is too driven
By the pace of life that they were given

Just listen to the sound passing through the leaves
Beautiful music pitched high or low by the breeze
Nature is singing to you, it begs for your return
Listen closely, you'll discover of what you yearn

Nature is talking to me, It wants me back
Am I doing things to put me on the right track?
It speaks of beauty and perfection
I try to go forward in the right direction

Secrets of health in body and mind are told to us every day
But, just try to live your life perfect in every way
God knows I've failed along the way
Let's hope he can forgive me on judgement day
