I've got a friend who's dear to me
But he cannot go to school
For he's not at all human as you could see
If not seeing him wasn't a rule...

When I get up real early so late I won't be
He just pulls the covers on tighter
Oh how I wish that could be me
Sleeping 'til the day gets brighter...

When I'm at school he goes for walks
Down the fiery leaf-covered ways
Around the house for three or four blocks
And he seems never to wander astray.

The trees are burning with nature's fire
Pyrotechnics of Mother Earth
He watches the leaves pile even higher
And knows the cold winter makes way for new birth.

When spring comes around, the flowers bloom
And the trees have new leaves for shade
The world seems refreshed; winter's dark gloom
Has passed and new life is made.

My friend enjoys nature more than I can
Most animals usually do;
I'd be more appreciative if I were not man
But I did not have the option to choose...

Walking along seashores quiets my mind
To listen to rushing of tide
With the setting sun; this is where I find
I can thank God I'm alive.

It's different for people who aren't like myself
And a lot of those there may be;
But find that tranquility, it's good for your health
See for yourself--don't trust me.

One day I arranged to stay home for a while
And take  a long walk with my friend.
Seeing life everywhere made both of us smile
At the miracles that nature does send.

A walk along the shore is also my most favorite thing in the world!! Beautiful poem!

Whose winnings are less than his worth;
For he who is honest is noble,
Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~

 A soul that writes from the heart and shares it, truly gives a gift extraordinaire!

Beautifull... I really enjoyed this. Who was your friend, may I ask?  

 MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND

I really like this poem, I also love to walk along the shore on the rare occasions when the holiday is beside the sea! Being landlocked is quite sad actually! I love walking though...anywhere I can.

Love and hugs,
Lizzie
