Beauty in the Forest

Nimbly I jogged along

Far beneath the wild bird song.

The trees around me big and tall

I felt so small, like nothing at all!

The moss beneath my feet felt furry

I was in no mood to hurry.

And though it was just past dawn

I felt as though I could just yawn.

The soft sun lulled me to sleep

There was no need for counting sheep.

Slowly I slid down back against a tree

My mind was so happy and so free.

So I closed my eyes and dreamed a bit

'Til all the stars at night were lit.

Astounded by how long I slept,

I silently through the woodlands crept.

Bats flew quietly overhead,

Telling everyone time for bed.

I walked along humming slightly

Hanging on to my memories tightly.

Of the forest I met today,

And how he bid me to just stay.

That's why the forest is home to me

Where out here all are happy!
