We fight nature’s will.
Ride its mighty waves.
Dig up its natural resources.
Cut down its plentiful trees.
Pollute its clear waters.
But will we ever have control?
Make it bow to our will.
Never.
Nature can never be tamed.
It will remain strong.
Long after we’re gone.
A flower so beautiful reveals
nature’s proud purpose.
It brings beauty and joy
to our lives.
We must open our hearts and minds
to appreciate its powerful message.
We might try to re-create nature,
but we’ll never be successful.
We might be able to create
a symbol of nature and hang
it from our ceiling, but it will
never replicate the
grandeur and beauty of nature.
