And held me every day.

And said, I love you in every way.

After learning how to talk.
3. Nature’s Way
(by Heidi Campbell)
Upon a nice mid-spring day,
Let’s take a look at Nature’s way.
Breathe the scent of nice fresh air,
Feel the breeze within your hair.

Smell the flowers with your nose.
Clouds form shapes within the skies
And light will glisten from your eyes
