A Visit to the Heath


The wind blows through the long grasses, swoosh, swoosh, swoooosh.
Leaves moving on the trees, rustle, rustle, rustle.
Butterflies flitting from a leaf to a flower, gentle, delicate, silent.
The sun is shining.

Lifting my head up high, there are no clouds in the sky.
As I look back down, the trees are green and brown.
On the floor beneath my feet, I see flowers so sweet,
Insects buzzing and gliding, and under rocks they are hiding.

Birds flying and hovering, flap, flap.
Birdsong on the breeze, twitter, cheap, caw.
Bees and insects are busy, buzz, buzz.
A gentle breeze blows.
