I TREATED MYSELF TO A NEW POETRY BOOK.

Its author is the man who wrote the quote I shared in my Blue Jay post here.  The book is called Nature’s Bounty by Justin Farley, who has become my favorite at this point in time. I loved the poem I am sharing with you today.

“Children of the Forest”

~Justin Farley~

I leave you my love of the forest

and the winding creek.

I gift you with believing you are poorest 

when the sun’s warmth is absent from your cheek.

I impart to you the language of nature

and the secret harmony of her song;

I leave with you an overture 

So you’ll know her arms is where you belong.

I grant you the skill of listening 

with ears in tune with the earth.

I bless you with the excitement of discovering 

The depth and extent of her worth.

My blood flows within you;

I see my spark with your eyes.

We are children of the forest through and through,

and our spirits soar when the eagles rise.

I hope you have enjoyed this poem. This is one that will stay with me for a very long time. I thought it was beautiful.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
