BROOK

                          

                A look I took.

      So many times I did drive by in my car.

         I, away from it was so far.

    I would go so fast, and before the time would be past.

           Or, it, I would just ignore.

                  

               The brook.

              

          My eyes, did not deceive.  

         A wonderful sight I did receive.

   The leaves, floating, like boats on the water.

                They did drift.



              The brook.



                Underneath the bush that did overgrow

                Something that I never did know.

                My eyes did go.

                A brook did flow



                The brook.



          Look at what I found.

            The brook did not make such a soft sound.

            There on the ground.

           The bushes of green.  Yes, there it can be seen.

            I almost did not see, under the tree.

         Under the tree, look at what I did see

           I almost did not look at the brook.

                    

            The brook.



                       The trees do grow.

                The brook does flow.

                Beyond the fast life's pace.

         They all put a smile on my face.

        This special place.

              The small water plantings, how enchanting

               The stones so small.  The trees so tall.

          I almost did not see.  

             What was beneath me.
