Favorite Quote:
Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.

These flowers so dainty,
but their life is so scanty.

These mountains so huge,
to be strong refuge.

The cuckoo keeps singing,
the melody of the song keeps in my ears ringing.

The flowing water keeps hushing
like the thoughts in my mind keep rushing,

The sea looks so blue,
Why so? I have no clue?

In this busy world
no time to admire nature's beauty,
All in the world
we only think pf our duties.

The author's comments:
This poem may be short but it tells us how we never have even one second to sit down and admire the beauty of the nature that is all around us.I wrote this poem one day when I was sitting in front of the window staring at the gorgeous greenery outside, at that moment I decided to write a short and sweet poem on nature's beauty.
