Parks and Forests are full of flora, fauna, and trees
Preserved for the peoples and wildlife's enjoyment;
If you please...
Not to be fouled, polluted, diverted, or stolen
The Park's make distinctions "for-rests" measure,
rarely spoken
Rangers' maintain tall towers too
High above the tree-tops, a canopy view
to spot
smoke signals in their youth
to prevent forest fires from blazing
and burning grass, tree, and root
to blackest soot
National Monuments are Parks' too.
The St. Louis Arch
and its grounds included
Park's make important distinctions
Balanced plant and animal health is key
to preventing extinction
Ranger's and Coast Guards' care about
Public Safety Measures
Patrol rivers and lakes for your pleasure
Enforce NO WAKE ZONES so pontoons,
sail boats, and speed boats can
safely cruise
Tow in stranded people in boats who've
been marooned
For Your Pleasure
Beautiful Forests and Parks include
Campsites for everyone to enjoy and use
For (Family) Adventures,
marked Trail Heads and Maps too
Along the Forest floor
Trails cut through
where moss and lichen grow anew
"springs" waterfall "dew"
Maples, Ash, Oak, and Elm trees,
round about Evergreens' too
The Evergreen's Grace lies in the Winter frost,
to show us greens' and blues' aren't lost
Winter's Frost eventually bow's
to Spring's misty veil
a brief betrothal
Spring's renewal; Winter's betrayal
"Dreams are the touch tones of our characters."
