A Walk

I went on a solitary walk,
Along the beautiful lake.
Saw a bunch of swans swimming across;
White on glassy blue.
I exclaimed in wonder, “What a sight to behold!”
The trees aplenty and the sky above
Made my heart sing
Stood there for quite some time,
Admiring nature's beauty.
Came back I, a soul enriched.
