Have you ever smelled the air of majestic pines in the
        forest,
or watched the squirrels scurrying among their branches
        like notes in a chorus ?

Have you taken the time to watch deer slowly grazing,
as they begin to frolic and run like children playing ?

Have you searched or seen this beauty and pondered              
        its wonderful sight,
then, as if by magic, touched nature with ecstatic
        delight ?

If not, then take time to experience this world around
        you,
and know what was created ... the surrounding peace
        for those few that do !
