I walked early in the morning.

Along a rugged route with horns

Crossed the tracks and trails

Listening to grazing animals’ bells

Watching the trees and flying birds

Sweet noise of goats and sheep

The shepherds with blooming beep

Sticks in their hands

Controlling the hurds with bands

Voice of wind crossing along my ears

With a mix of roaring lions and bears

Jumping monkeys on the trees

With cold weather and breeze

Light and dark clouds in the sky

Like a floating butterfly

A very very thin drizzling fell upon my head.

A fantastic taste I enjoyed like Ned

Rain slowly picked up speed.

Everything was under drops spread

After a moment, the rain water started flowing on the earth.

The gullies received it for their dearth

All the creatures were happy and themselves

Mighty lions, bears and dears

Gathered on the lakes and ponds

Drinking water to end their fonds

Water washed the trees and mounts

Started the full speed fountains

Fountains will irrigate the forests and land.

Animals, birds, trees and valley hogs

Forests will grow and glow

Animals will sit below

A shadow and shelter are needed for living are

Life needs feed, fruit and meat.

Nature provides all the set

The mountains, ridges and valleys go green

For pure healthy environment

Supports mankind

They all become happy with a new spirit of life.

Life with peace, prosperity and development

Grow trees, forests and gardens

Protect valleys, rocks and mountains

Preserve wildlife and domestic animals

All is needed of each other

All are fed of each other

Rocks give us minerals and materials.

We build houses , highways, bridges and barrages.

Extract petroleum, gas, coal etc.

Produce electricity to run the modern world

Peaceful green, clean, healthy natural world.
