When I walk Among the Trees

When I Walk Among the Trees by Milton Lee Norris

When I walk among the trees in the park around New York,
It is the trees and flowers that I see and adore.
How beautiful, how gentle, how fragrant yet how strong,
It is the beauty of Mother Nature as she comforts us in her arms.

Mother Nature Weeps for Us

By Milton Lee Norris

Mother Nature is weeping,
So that she can see more clearly from heaven above.
And as she weeps, the rain is forced to fall.
The falling rain, the pitter, patter,
The falling rain, the splash and spatter,
The falling rain, the wind, the leaves,
The falling rain, the tires and the trees,
The falling rain, the thunder, and the lightening,
The falling rain, the smell and the breeze
The falling rain, the cleansing from Mother Nature

She breathes in and out with the wind, so strong and gentle,
And when she sneezes, perhaps a tree branch or trees do topple,
As the wind grows stronger.
And when she blows her nose, it thunders and then the lightening crackles,
As she violently coughs and sneezes to clear her throat and nostrils,
For she too must cleanse her skies and heavens,
So that she can make fresh air that we may breathe.

Mother Nature is doing what she is supposed to do,
So allow her to nurture you as she calms her bellowing cough and sneeze;
She will be smiling soon, and the sun and calm breeze
Will return from behind the clouds above
And the bigger her smile and grin, the calmer she becomes,
And as this storm has finished, and we breathe a sigh,
Remember, if it weren’t for Mother Nature, and the rain,
The storms, the sun, the wind, we wouldn’t be able to breath at all.

We are blessed, so enjoy all the blessings that come your way.
Smile for this is how we live and breathe.
Mother Nature has wept, so that we may breathe,
Mother Nature has cried, and we too can see more clearly from this good earth.
