Squirrels barking,

Chipmunks larking.

Timeless and pure,

Nature endures.

Night birds calling,

Day is complete.

Raindrops falling,

Life is so sweet.

Aspens quaking,

Insects still fly.

Fall is approaching,

No reason or why.

Time’s an invention,

By which we keep score.

But no wealth or pretension,

Can ever make more.

So I’ll live for the day,

And ask for no favor.

Just savor each moment,

And thrill in each flavor.
