Nature
'Take All' says mother nature
'No rationing or apportioning here'
The mountain streams and the
nourishing air -
She gives all with love and care
Your shelter, clothes and life saving food
All are gifts; loving nature's treats
You owe her for your health and strength
It is due to her your very heart beats
Open handed and generous
She gives all she has and more
Tranquility and peace are more of her dole
Expecting nothing, she gives of her
whole
The more she gives the more you grab
Till you leave her bare and drab
When there is nothing more to take
You pack to leave, for your love was fake
She watches you leave, silent tears in
her eyes
And slowly nurses her wounds;
Still, if you ever come back for more
She would yet again, open the door.
