My Walk.

A poem of the beauty of nature

It was a lovely sunny day again
So I went for a walk down a country lane.
Not just for a stretch and a breath of fresh air
But to stop and look at the beauty there.

A gold and red leaf lay along the side.
Close by, the big tree stood there with pride.
It's branches shaking in the breeze
Perfection of colours in all the trees.

The old oaks begin to look a bit bare
Branches all twisted and hanging there.
Fruits on the ground, not good to eat
But I picked some up and thought 'how sweet'...

From such little acorns, the mighty oak grows
It doesn't toil, it doesn't sow.
The cycle of life with ease shall be
For every tall, majestic tree.

I was lucky to find some conkers today,
Most of them had been taken to play.
I thought, how important to love nature's fun,
To treasure the biggest and shiniest one.

Some bright red berries carpet my way
The hedgerows aflame on this Autumn day.
And I realised I'm lucky and wanted to share
A part of the beauty I noticed there.
