Forest Poem<\/strong><\/div>\n
By Benjamin Moehring<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
The forest is always alive with sound,<\/div>\n
Never too quiet,<\/div>\n
Never too loud.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
It doesn’t know the bustle of the city,<\/div>\n
It is just a calm place filled with greens,<\/div>\n
And the animals hustling about.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
It has no need for human ways,<\/div>\n
Nothing in its life has ever changed,<\/div>\n
Because it is the calmest day.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
There are many things that live and thrive,<\/div>\n
Birds, fish, deer and more,<\/div>\n
All of them stay alive.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
The undergrowth and tall trees,<\/div>\n
The flowers and the fruits and veggies,<\/div>\n
They all help make the honey of the bees.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
The forest is always alive with sound,<\/div>\n
Never too quiet,<\/div>\n
Never too loud.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
