Nature Poem: Backyards

1              Nature is grand,
                Nature is wild,
                But, my yard is bland,
                And really mild.
5              Living in the city,
                Means nature isn't always there,
                Things look pretty gritty,
                But then I step into the fresh air.
                I think, maybe, well,
10            My yard isn't that bad,
                I take in the smells,
                And I feel kind of glad.
                I dig through the garbage,
                So I could find,
15            A beautiful piece of yardage,
                A flower primed,
                For my touch.
                I took it into my house,
                I washed off the sludge,
20            So I could see it sprout.
                I gazed outside at the dirt,
                Maybe nature is always here,
                It felt a little strange in my heart,
                And I felt sure,
25            Nature doesn't have to be amazing,
                You just have to experience it,
                You'll get its blessing,
                And finally understand,
30            True beauty, is within.
