The Orchards

Come with me on a walk
Through lush orchards abounding
Where the most wonderful fruit grows
And birds can be heard singing


Come with me through green fields
Until we reach the grove
With the most delicious fruit
A delectable treasure trove


Let us run, now fast
In the bright noon sun
With the wind in our face
As we jog, skip, and run


Endless hills of grass
Lead to the great orchard
Where the fruit has such rich texture
Let us run faster, onward!


There they are!
The fields of goodness and wonder
Let us pick a bushel of apples
And eat them while sitting under


The canopy that shades our picnic
As the squirrels come to see
Birds and animals gather
From a rabbit to a chickadee


The lions and sheep come
To join our excursion
Then bears and deer too
All sit with expectation


We toss some fruit to each
And we all eat in peace
Enjoying each other's company 
Joyful love that does not cease
