A Love Letter to Mother Nature

As loneliness consumes my mind and heart and soul, you remind me again and again and again, day after day after day, that no matter where life may take me, you will always be nearby.

As your light warms my face and heals my wounds, as your wind brushes my hair and makes me feel loved, as your raindrops tap at my window and let me know I am not alone, you remind me again and again and again, day after day after day, that no matter how dark things may seem I will always have you to look forward to.

As I grow old and my memories start to fade, as those few close to me pass on, as the colors of life begin to turn gray, you remind me again and again and again, day after day after day, of all the rainbows we saw, of all the snowflakes we caught, of all the thunderstorms we heard, of all the leaf piles we jumped into, of all the early morning walks, knocking dewdrops of leaves, admiring the rising sun and breathing the fresh air.

Again and again, day after day, you remind me of all the good while my mind insists on solely remembering the bad. For that, I will be forever grateful. For your colors, I will be forever grateful. For your voices, I will be forever grateful.

Thank you. For the life I got to live with you by my side, I will be forever grateful. Thank you.
