Where country kids spring (Photo: Faye Sarras)

To fields and villages flowers flow
from high mountains slopes below
Where country kids spring
Swallows, thrushes and crickets sing
Hand in hand Earth’s sisters dance
Morning mist makes nature’s skirts
By twilight lovers find their nests
Bees and birds that take their rest.
