Made it halfway through the night with my five-year-old granddaughter
Left the tent at two a.m.; we sat and watched the stars
We continued on next day with a walk around the lake
Five little ducks and their mother; Clover made a nice bouquet
Rode our bikes and took a hike; breathed in the freshest air
Lay down upon the grass; watched the clouds floating by
Heard the chirping and the tweets, whistled with a piece of grass
The rustling of the leaves, saw the water in our path.
Our natural world, our natural world, our natural world, our natural world.
Bunnies come by here; Gulls circle as do hawks
Daisies pop upon the scene; foxtail and brome grass
Saw the oats for our oatmeal as she gathered mustard seeds
Smelt this earth we walk upon; the universe I am a part.
The world quietens all around as we listen to the frogs
Evening hush; nighttime sounds; Star lights dripping down.
We’re so connected to all that is as we go our separate ways
Thankfulness and gratitude, we had songs to sing
Our natural world, our natural world, our natural world, our natural world.
Even with tornado days; rain, cloud, sun and wind
Peace comes to me again as we share the world I love
Peace comes to me again as I share the natural world
Appreciating what I have; Sharing with all I love.
Our natural world, our natural world, our natural world, our natural world.
