The Forest

Can you see the soft leaves falling?

Do you hear the songbirds calling?

In the lush green forest tree tops

That shades the sunlight’s glare.

Do you see the orchids showing?

By the maidenhair fern growing.

In the misty gentle raindrops,

And there’s beauty everywhere.

Can you hear the axe blows ringing?

Do you hear the saw blade singing?

Do you hear the crash of thunder?

As the forest giants fall.

Can you see the forest dwindling?

As it’s all reduced to kindling.

Do you ever stop to wonder?

At the reason for it all.
