camping

there is just something about camping
that makes everything all right
playing all day
star gazing at night

you are set out
with Mother Nature herself
you can visit trails
and lakes together or yourself

you can build a camp fire
and roast hot dogs galore
and of course don't forget
the gooey marshmellow s'mores

you can relax like
you can in no other setting
you can re-energize
which is what I am betting

so many of us need
in our busy day lives
we get caught up
and forget just how wise

it is to step back
and take a needed break
which you can do easily
camping by mountain or lake
