Autumn walks


Let’s walk through the woods with sunlight beaming through the trees,
Listening to the humming of the bees,
Leaves rustling in the breeze.
Deer calling for their mates,
Cattle and sheep behind field gates.
We continue down the lane,
Back through the woods then out again,
We watch the birds fly on the wing,
Hearing the lovely songs they sing.
We see berries growing on bushes,
They look so plump and delicious.
Look squirrels gathering nuts for winter,
Buzzards flying above, searching for dinner.
If you are feeling lonely and blue,
Take a walk in the woods, it will enlighten you.
