THE FOREST

I sat in the mountains and listen to the different sounds

And knew that this is the animals playing ground

The valley has been filled with a strange type of home

For they can’t be moved to where the buffalo would roam

You don’t hear the dancing and singing in the night

But just the noise of another street fight

I look up to see the eagle as it would glide through the air

And wished I could be with him instead of sitting in this chair

There is a funny sound in the bushes to my left

To see the fawn running and wanting it to be one of my pets

I start to hear the sound of thunder from the sky

As a boy I was told the rain is from the angels cry

The rain sounds of chimes as it falls through the trees

As the leaves begin to move from the strength of the breeze

The water is starting to run down the side of the mountain

And I think of it as one of natures giant fountain

My heart is sadden for I know this will someday be gone

For my friends won’t have a place to live and this is wrong

So it wouldn’t be that hard but here is a small dare

To take your children to the forest and smell the fresh air

Then sit in your chair and watch your children play

And maybe our forest will be here for another day
