Ahhhh, when the morning sunrise and mountains meet
and all the creatures of the wild the daylight greet
the aroma of green forests and streams in beams so sweet
where lingering mists in valleys were dissolving in the heat
birds singing from trees in a chorus of tweet, tweet, tweet
and majestic eagles flying high above it all looking for a treat
while two lovers kiss on the mountain top swaying like wheat
with angels taking it all in thinking, "This is really neat."
If only mankind could comprehend the awesomeness of the great feat
God Almighty did when he made the wilderness a wondrous retreat.


The royal buck pranced out of the deep forest knowing no defeat
looking around with his crown of antlers in the air sniffing for dead meat
a sure sign his two legged enemy was around so he was quick on his feet
his harem of beauties following hard after him in the hot summer heat
they ran down the mountain into the river like runners in a track meet
and when the hunters came and saw deer tracks mingled with crow's feet
they knew their opponents were smarter than most and very discreet
if they followed the river one way and the deer went the other it would take a week
so hamburgers at a restuarant on the way back would be their only meat
while angels smiled at how God humbled the hunter's conceit.
