Nature’s bounty

Folder: 
book 13

nature gives

freely to all

sun that shines

rain that falls

 

trees grow high

flowers bloom

bees make honey

that fills their hives

 

of nature’s bounty

each one can share

with one another

that all may have

 

care for each other

see to their needs

that done do suffer

for that which they need

 

yet all to not

work equally hard

in providing

for each other’s needs

 

should their lot then

be just the same

of another who

works not as hard

 

and if it should then

why should they try

if for their work

there is no reward

 

no in all fairness

they who do more

should be rewarded

with a greater share

 

but not to the point then

that for their reward

would cause another

then to have not

 

of nature’s bounty

all must have part

that of their needs

they will not want
