Nature's Gift

Nature is a gift from God
Rain falling on the plowed sod
Farmers tilling in the field
Praying for a very good yield
Planting wheat, beans, and corn
Overseeing fields they adorn
Tending crops and they know
Sun shining' make them grow
Nature knows what we need
Every year replenishes the seed
Nature' sun and Nature's rain
Hear the sound a study refrain
Making the soil smell so good
Man is proud to know he could
Feed the masses of this world
Nature' helped as it unfurled
Man and nature work together
Nature gives to him the weather
God supplies us what we need
With Nature's help we succeed

Old Winter

Soon the snow will be blowing
Frozen water will stop flowing
Old man winter raising his head
Makes me want to stay in bed
Dream about the warm April rains
And the flowers growing in the lane
Snuggled under blankets warm
Listening to a winter storm
Hear the wind howl under the eve
Waiting for sleep, dreams to weave
Dreaming of days that have long gone by
Remembering loves that have gone awry
Waiting for a new love perhaps in spring
Or what ever life a New Year shall bring
Cold will be gone till winter comes again
Warmth again these old bones will attain
