Parallel Reading

Nature’s Way

Is there anything as tranquil

As a brightly glowing jonquil

That stands in sweet serenity,

A part of nature’s tapestry?

 

A flower that never questions why,

The rivers flow and birds will fly,

Content to fill part of the plan,

To beautify the world of man.

 

If we would only realize

We, too, can help to glorify,

To find within each passing day

A happiness along the way.

 

A loving hug or cheerful smile

Can help to make a life worthwhile.

If all would lend a helping hand,

We soon would have a world so grand.
