Nature birthed a special place
Which holds majesty and awe
Scenery painted crisp and clear
Full brushstrokes without flaw
With its rolling hills and valleys
Softly carpeted in forest green
Where rivers in abundance carve
Their depth through every scene
Lakes and ponds lend imagery
The waves calming and serene
Softly mirrored bank and sky
Framed upon its rippled screen
Heightened vista gifts caress
While senses absorb this view
Gentle captive of this place
Where heart and soul renew
