A Walk in the Woods

This morning as I walked in the woods
I listened to the birds.
Their songs were beautiful.
I heard the river's water flowing.
The colorful leaves moved in the wind.
The air smelled so fresh.
It made walking in the woods so comforting.

A walk in the woods gives me time alone.
It gives me time to be by myself.
When I walk on the trails
It's my choice to pick
Which path I will take
One takes me home
The other to the camp
And the other one takes me away.
