The savage wilderness
on this spring day
cold and wild
as we make our way
Snow is melting
plants awake again
beautiful colors emerging
animals exit their den
An inhospitable environment
speaks of wonder anew
life begins to thrive
on the spring's dew
The river ice is melting
turning the water blue
canoeing across
creating a path anew
Wonder for all to see
as the seasons change
a living planet's beauty
within our eyes range
God provides for us
in this savage land
meeting all our needs
on a planet so grand
