Be Embraced by Nature's Beauty
School of the Nations, Kwok, Yasuka - 10
The new country shone brightly in the sun.
Hey! This adventure has just begun!
The natives are always having fun,
And they always go on a run.
Look at this park in this town,
That seesaw going up and down,
The children’s faces are totally not a frown,
And they are going on the swing upside down!
Just look at the city street,
Where everyone can eat.
Wow! That sure is very sweet!
Just don’t burn your feet because of the heat!
This city is very wealthy,
Because this country has a lot of pennies.
The city streets are not even filthy,
And all the people love the city’s beauty.
Birds, soaring high in the sky
Just flew by in a blink of an eye!
Perhaps, they are just awfully shy.
Oh my, oh dear! Please tell me why!
The waves that come to shore,
Cause a powerful, great roar!
Sounds coming more and more,
But, I wonder, what was that for?
That attractive, enormous, blue-green beach,
Looks like it’s out of reach.
The rolling waves looks like they are giving a speech.
That lively, timid breeze,
Merrily danced around the trees.
Wait! Is that what I see?
Forget it, more likely just a flea.
That mountain over me,
With nobody,
Or maybe just a bee,
