There is no other place I would rather be
Sitting, listening, to the birds and the bees
The serenity of the trees
Brings me to my knees.

There is no better place to go to get away.
The power of nature will keep me astray.
I have made some bad choice, I know this is true
But sitting here I know what to do.

I will grow like the trees
And sing like the bees
I will help those around me
And put them before me.
I will clean up my act
And look at my future that’s far.
Nothing can stop me
Neither a storm nor whatever it may be.

I will be the best I can be.
Watch and you will see.

The author's comments:
This poem was written from inspiration from a picture of a man sitting on an old fence looking to an everlasting forest. It made me go deep into what the person may have been thinking while getting in touch with nature and one’s self. I thought that this poem went deep into ones thoughts and can be evaluated many different ways.
