I like to walk all alone
down the country road.
Up the hill and through the woods
where the trees have grown so old.

I walk with the warmth of summer
or with a chill in the air.
It matters not what time of year
I’m happy to enjoy life there.

When dusk is taking over the day
and the sun sets in the west.
I stand there captivated by the round red glow
as it drops below the mountains to rest.

I watch a million stars shine bright
while lightning bugs dot the dark.
I stand in the quite surroundings
watching their tiny spark.

And when the day is almost over
and the moon is full in the sky.
I look to the heavens in the moonlight
as it reflects off my eyes.

Then I’ll sleep and dream peacefully
as I retire another day.
Snuggled under the covers
till the next sun’s rays.
