Such A Simple Thing

Nature is such a simple thing.

A blade of grass,

a pristine blue sky,

an elm tree,

stretched in towering strength.

Quiet murmurings of a spring lake,

robins and bluebirds whistling,

and a rainbow field of flowers,

give quiet to such a beautiful place.

A rose is a rose is a rose,

none other can compare;

perhaps this time a rose is more,

when I leave you something special;

a rose, for the purest rose I knew.
