As this journey rolls on,
I can’t help but remember

The wonders I’ve seen in this great land of timber.

Sunrise every morning and sunset at night

Fill me with more joy and delight

Than my banks could ever hold.

As turkeys in the field fan out their feathers

And turtles bask in day long warm weather,

I wind unseen among the trees

Whose roots gladly soak me in.

I glide and float along the ground

And listen to the lovely sounds

Of birds on branches I yearn see.

I live for each new twist and turn

That gives me a good chance to learn

About this forest’s ways and rules.

Someday my journey will come to an end

As will yours one day my friend.

But until that day comes I’ll choose to remember

The wonders I’ve seen in this great land of timber.
