Oh Joyous Comforting Sea of Green!

Oh joyous meadow of deep green!

Your array of comforts have no bounds.

You warm me in seasons of sun,

and delight as you peek from under your blanket of white.

Oh joyous ocean of emerald!

Your coolness on bare feet is like a mother’s touch.

As spring evolves into summer, you spring up from 

underfoot like a dry sponge.

Oh joyous pastoral monument of solace!

How soothing your allure in spring, summer, winter, and fall.

Your invitation to stop, play, run, roll, and relax

is never refused!

Oh joyous beacon of hopeful sage!

My affection for you is undying!

Your infinite spiritual healing powers and

gentle fragrance - reminiscent of home.
